I was at 290 whp... would of went higher but there was a tuning flaw. I think safely, and for reliability I would stay under the 250 whp mark.

so WHP you would stay under ok... I'm trying to push it...

i am.. for about another month lol
I saw 14psi on my stock motor with the saab setup, never had a problem, but the transmission thought otherwise...
I did at least 30k miles at 285whp.
I was putting down 235hp-249tq @ 12psi But now im running 16psi and havent had any problems 100% stock motor except for injectors and tune

Just never spark knock it, and you'll be fine at the power levels outlined here. The stock powdered-metal rods can be fragile when faced with detonation. 300 engine HP is the upper limit we've set on the stock rods.

I don't think I'll be that close to 300hp but over 250 more than likely specially at the crank...

outside of inadequate tuning, is it possible to reach power levels on a saab turbo set up that will damage an L61? I don't think you can make much over 300hp on the saab turbo right?
I've been at 249whp since may and have about 9k hard miles on her since then, Cavi rolled 56k this week...haha
My friends Turbo Ecotec has been at 14 psi for a year and now 16 psi. I would say we are right at 280-300 at the wheels which is over 300 crank. We plant ot go to 20psi shortly. Completely stock motor.
Also another guy I know has been 266whp for a long time.
It is all in the tuning, and if more people knew how to tune right or, the shops they took it to knew how to tune right motors would last longer.
FU Tuning
My buddies S/C cobalt sedan was right around 261hp on a 2.9". ran like this for six months and 7k miles. Then the piston let go not the rod. Took a chunk out of the top of the piston/ upper ringland and burned the sleeve. Head and rod were fine when I pulled it all apart.
mine has 110,000 miles on it also go big or go home lol

i got a cavi pushing 18 psi on stock internals. 97 cavalier 4 door 2.4 with the f23. best family car in the world. i even kept the stock hub caps.
They are pretty easy to come by these days. If you want more out of a stock bottom end, go LE5
