My guess is both A6 and M6 will be fine at around 450 RWHP if you aren't using that power all the time (occassional trips to the drag strip etc.). Beyond that it will probably have a much reduced lifespan. Change the fluid more frequently (say every 9K miles) and get a tranny cooler and you will be safer, but in the end they just weren't designed for that much power.

Rods and crank are forged. The pistons are high-silicon so they should take quite a bit. Most boosted cars use aluminum block and heads these days with no problems.

Thanks guys! Again, wasn't doubting but the forged bits aren't mentioned on the wiki pages.

Exactly! Any pursuit of further boost levels should always include a quality forged piston upgrade!!!

Our track time this morning went well! We're very excited to have a couple of videos posted soon. We ran our IPF Supercharged V6 Camaro against an SS in a heads up style run. We'll post the video as soon as possible!

Would hope so, a lot of people have been asking for time slips, and few, if any, have been shown from other projects.

Cant wait to see those vids too!
