Support Mods needed for a safe 600 RWHP?

[Tritanium]

Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2014 2SS/RS with Recaros. I am planning to eventually bring it up to 600 RWHP. It is a Automatic and I really would like to keep it relatively stock if possible. My plans are to add a Supercharger, CAI, and some Longtube headers as well as a good tune.

My question is what would I need to change to make this a long term reliable daily driver? If it is to much at 600 HP how about at around 525 RWHP. Am I correct in assuming at the low 500 range just about everything can remain stock?

Lol it's relatively stock if you spend 10 minutes in the "Forced Induction" section of the sub-forums. Half those guys are well above 800 at the wheels

You will get a ton of responses as to what is and isn't necessary and they will likely conflict to some degree. I would recommend finding the person that will do the build/tune for you and see what they recommend. There are also a ton of great vendors on here that are extremely responsive and helpful that have built more 600+ beasts than you can count, you might get your best information by calling or sending a pm to a few of them

How much $$ do you want to spend? What are you using the car for?

I'm at 580 with a Maggie, and long tubes, dual fuel pump. If your going to drag race it, you may need some rear end and suspension parts when/if they break. DD it'll be fine.

TVS2300 with OD Cog, FIC 60lb injectors, ZL1 Pump, ADM FPCM, CAI, Long tubes. That setup will get you 500+. I made 600 with that setup but also had a cam. Car is a DD and has 60k+ miles on it now.

Really not much if anything. I've seen AGP kits do 580-680rwhp on stock autos with no other mods. Check into what it takes to get a SC car to 600 on an l99 auto and you will see the value of the turbo kits.

I would like to spend under 10k but I will be doing all the installs myself. The car will be 100% a daily driver. Definitely not a garage queen but definitely not a track car either. I'm also not really fixated on any certain HP number either. I just want it to be a good bit quicker. I just say 600 RWHP because I know that the highest I would want to go for my uses.

Yup, I said the same thing... lol... good luck with the build...

Even at 600 RWHP, you'll need to do a few suspension mods to transfer the power to the ground... Toe rods and trailing arms are a good start... It'll keep the tires aligned as the power is applied... rather than having the tires rotate forward and inward leading to bad wheel hop in many cases..
