what if you were to install a knock sensor and an after market computer (halmeter) or =? Pistons aren't out of the question though I'm sure one could have some made at a reasonable cost, would 745 pistons fit? 550 HP seems so much mor appeelouting....

unless the compression is lowered to at least 8:2.1 15psi is really really in the red danger level......even with an intercooler/aftercooler.

I think that 8-9psi 10 max is awsome for that car
just think almost 400hp is nice....
