What is the maximum horse power and torque that you can get out of the S 600 engine without removing the engine or turbos?

Where does reliability start to recede?

The engine is incredibly, it's the transmission that is having issues at (if i remember right) 1000lb-ft torque.

You can squeeze some 700+ lb/ft of rwtq (a whopping 900 ft/lbs at the crank) just out of the RennTech chip and run some higher octane (you can try 100).

The 5-speed is very strong, consult RennTech or Kleemann if you want to go crazy.
