Question To rebuild or not to rebuild...thats the question...

with the mods in my last post...

---------------ORIGINAL POST-------------

hey,
now that I have your attention with that catchy title :P, I have posted before a list of mods that seemed very unrealistic and downright stupid. I have been doing some research and have made up a new list. Let me know if this sounds more realistic.

ACT XACT Streetlite flywheel
ACT Maxx Xtreme Clutch Kit
APEXi Super AFC II
DC SPORT Carbon steel strut tower bars (front)
DC SPORT Carbon steel strut tower bars (rear)
GREDDY EVO2 exhaust
GREDDY 660cc fuel injectors
GREDDY Type-S boost controller
ROTORA Crossdrilled/slotted big brake kit
AGP Turbo kit (full race turbo upgrade, race manifold T3/T4 50 trim T3/T4, .63 A/R housing, 700+HP race intercooler kit, HKS SSQV BOV, 38mm Evolution Wastegate 3" Intake)
TEIN EDFC- Electronic Damping force controller
TEIN SS (supper street) Coilovers
WALBRO 255lph HP in-tank fuel pump
NX Nitrous Express dual stage EFI system

Does this sound better than my old list? Anything I should add or drop..?
Still looking for my 500hp mark..Think that I am a lot closer to that mark now than I was with that other sh*tty list!

--------------END OF ORIGINAL POST---------------------

I have been told two different answers when the question of rebuilding or replacing my motor with stronger internals. On the one hand, I have been told that my stock internals would withstand the 450-500hp. The hp amount that I am aiming to hit. On the other hand, a few have expressed concern that if i don't upgrade my internals, then I will have big problems when i try to get the eclipses full potential of that 450-500hp.

What do the other fellow DSMers think I should do?

Thanks for any input
