Nizpro are doing the work and the engine will be able to support 500 rwkW without problems. The aim is to take power to above 400 rwkW of nice streetable power.CheersRobin.←What pistons are you going to get?A word of cution from someone who have just done this.Select your forged pistons carefully, as the piston 'slap' can be quite bad below 2000 rpm, despite the best efforts of the tuner, and tolerances being kept tight.If you value a nice sounding engine as well as power, this would be worth some investigation.
