I've seen 961HP on a stock bottom end with 340k miles, after that one run they tore it down and it was trashed

you MIGHT make 1200 one time. if you are daily driving it i wouldn't push more then 5-600.

im not looking to get 1200 i just want some more hauling power, i dont have much of a budget right now but through time im thinkin injectors, chip and studs probably...its got a stick so i will probably beef up the clutch a bit thanks for all your input!
