Re: How hard/much money would it be to hit 300whp in my 99 gsx?

Well to avoid CW I kept the stock clutch in. I have heard more than one story about a dsm with a good bit of miles on it and it running fine. Then the person put in a heaver clutch and had CW problems in no time.

The maximum HP you want is up to you. Depends on how reliable you want it. Basically, the farther away from the 400hp maximum you are the safer you are unless you go with a forged bottom end. I read and saw stock 7 bolt blocks that pushed well over the 400hp mark and were fine. So I figured I would be okay getting close to 380-400...wrong. If you decide to get upwards of 350hp or that area a very good tune is a must.
