The 450HP goal it's a desire one, if the car can handle it running safe.

If is not possible he is not going to brake the engine.

I just came from the dyno day................

The first picture is from a 3 generation that maked 390HP.
Second picture is a turbo II that maked 405 HP.
Third one is a first generation maked 363 HP on the first pass, the picture is from the second pass he blowed the turbine.
Last two pictures is from a Turbo II he maked 515 HP.

I was there just 2 hours, I don't know who win but it was a funny day!

Sorry but I really don't know.
I would ask your question to my mechanic (he is the owner of the Dyno) this Tuesday.
Ok.

Nice 10 year bump. Read the new owners thread and then start reading threads in the Major horsepower upgrades section.
