Ok, I have a question... RC said they claim 550 but 700 hp is more likely... 700 at the flywheel? And if so, doesn't the owner run the risks that were talked about in earlier discussion threads namely, that the max output of the turbo engine is around 550 hp without seriously redoing a lot of the internals? And even so, the lifespan of the engine would be seriously reduced?...

Does Manthay do exactly that?... a tuned engine with new components such as new cams, new flywheel, clutch, connecting rods, rod bolts, etc...? Or will the owner of the Manthay tuned tt996 enjoy it for all of, say, 5000 km before the engine goes kaput (technical term here!).

I ask the question because I am definately interested in trying to achieve better than 550 hp out of my car, but take very seriously the risks talked about.I want to have a tuned solution that delivers outrageous power without seriously compromising engine life. Can I have my cake and eat it too? Could someone help clear up my confusion?

Thanks,

Brooks
