To boostedDreams,
To get 300 whp, you have to change your turbo (expensive )
and run on ethanol.
We don't have any, here, the best is octane 94.
In july 2018, I had my SI tuned on a Mustang dyno , in Montreal.
It was very hot, around 30 C or 88F outside, more in the
workshop : we read 237 whp and 326 wtq despite the hot air.
I was on the original clutch which held up for several thousands
kilometers afterwards.
I changed it a few months later and I was surprised that it was
not really damaged. It could have lasted a long time, according
to the mechanic.
In my opinion, the bending connecting rods are often due to
over-revving, too high turbo pressures, the use of ethanol
mixture above 30 % and , sometimes, abuse.
