i wouldnt go over 330-340whp if you wanted to be on the safe side the car was super reliable on the stock fuel system at 300whp with a x47r the engine had 60490 miles when it let loose and spent the majority of its life with a hybrid turbo on e30 and got beat on a daily basis. 300whp is reliable so thats where id cap it if I wanted it to live a long happy life haha and yes i swapped in a escape 1.6 for a temporary fix and to get some runs in while the engine that blew is being built it goes to our machinist in carlisle pa this weekend to be sleeved then once its back ill start the assembly on the built engine. And im located in west Virginia currently
