Last I checked, the FP Green is capable of 500HP. I think that around those ranges, it is a good idea to upgrade the connecting rods. I believe xgstxguyx is running a 7-Bolt motor, not a 6-bolt. People pushing 8,500 RPMs constantly are also usually the ones you see pulled over on the side of the road with smoke pouring out of the hood. I'm not saying that there aren't any 4G63s out there that have taken a beating and still lasted for a long time, but typically, they croak earlier than some ay expect. No doubt, our engines are strong as hell, but they are not bullet proof.
I know of a couple 2g's, hitting consistant 8500+rpms on their setups, with 50trim turbos and stock bottom ends traping well over 110-115 with no problems. Just do it right.

Fucking 7bolt crap
