Sorry I hate to triple post like a noob but RIPP just made a post on the C4G forums and I thought it was worth reposting here...

I'm willing to bet boyo didn't have enough money to drop in to properly build. But yeah - to Tim's point, the stock heads are gold. Imagine how much more if they were opened up properly.

Actually from the tune side of things all looks well, we’ve been testing a stage 2 car set at 387whp since February with no reported problems at all. In fact it never even needed a re-tune. When we put current kits out we make sure all is safe in terms of tune. This car turned perfect EGT’s never coming close to 1200 and the knock sensor never even came close to triggering even after the wickest of beating, I remind you these are dual piazo digital sensors, you can sneeze and they could trigger.
As you can see from the DYNO sheets the Air fuel are always in a safe zone in both hot and cold pass’s. In our opinion based on what we seen, the 4G’s engine is so much stronger than the 3G it isn’t even funny. One sure way is we spin the blower 13000rpm slower to make 8psi. In fact we tuned with a 3G yesterday in stage 3 form (engine build, larger crank pulley smaller SDS pulley and tensioner required…not to mention labor) at 17psi made 380whp…think about it!
Secondly, given the size of the engine 8spi is like stage 1 anyway, the cylinder pressure isn’t anywhere near a smaller displacement engine. Add the methanol from our boost cooler and detonation can nearly be forgotten.

They sound very comfortable with the way the engine is holding up... fuccccccccccckkkkkkk meeeeee i'm excited!!
