Posted 12/05/10 11:57 PM Share Posted 12/05/10 11:57 PM he is right.when pushing overt 300rwkw in a BA its almost like a granade. Depends on the tune, and if you dont have a surge tank...it can blow any time you give it stick at any moment. Search how many rod's have snapped for BA ownerd just on this forum. HEAPS. Im one of them.Stick to 300rwkw on the dyno, get a surge tank, and prayyou have a good tuner. valve springs, fuel pump and a high cat are all you should need with more boost. I advise dont go over 15psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an early BA you want to make sure that all the supporting mods will take strain of the engine. So a high flow exhaust and cooler kit are a must. Sure you can make 300 with less mods but how many psi would you need to push to make the power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
