What is the max power that a stock motor can handle. I have a 98 with a p1sc with a 7lb pulley pushing 408 at the wheels. will i be safe with going with a 10-12lb pulley or is that pushing it? thnx i used to own a 98gt so i am new to the whole 4v world

I was at 510rw with my d1sc - going lean at 5500. I know of a guy who was at 575ish with the same blower. The motors are pretty strong with a really good tune - but of course it is definately a game of russian roulette once you're over 450+

peace
