I was thinking about running a stock motor with about 10 -15 psi and see what goes form their maybe do a little street port on the intake and exhaust. and then run better apex seals. but for the most part I was going to run a bigger turbo at like 10-15 psi and then run a street port on the intake and exhaust . but any other suggestions is greatly appreciated

The stock seals are actually pretty good. Demetrious of reactive racing made 780some odd RWHP with all stock seals....

cool But would it still be good to put better ones in to be safe I mean I don't want the engine to blow up when I am at the track and then be stuck with a major towtruck bill. I mean what can I do to make this motor stand about 500 horse power. I mean I know I can do apex seals but what else can I do so I won't get tranded at the trakc with a blown motor?

I am currently doing a single conversion on my FD. and it isnt easy.

I wish I could get 500 hp but it wont be easy. It is going to take lots of time and money considering I am doing most of the work myself. but will be happy with

400-450 hp with all the right parts.

So just do your homework and take your time. but if you dont want to wait just send it to a shop and pay lots of cash to achieve those numbers.

GOOD LUCK
