My engine "should" be able to handle the power. I have cp pistons, pauter rods, forged crank. I will be getting h13 tool steel wrist pins, then it will all be put in my 4 bolt block. Theoretically the parts are there but we will see if its capable or not.
The 16g kit is long gone, I sold most of my stuff to be able to come to school out of state. I am kind of starting from scratch again. Slit second is having a sale on their tdo5 manifold kit, so that is the reason I even got this idea in my head.
I want a single kit but I can't seem to find any I like. The ips kit is like 8 grand, I like the placement of that kit since its not above the tranny so it wont melt stuff. I just don't personally think that kit is worth the money even though it is super high quality.
Like you said its all about driving ability also so that is definitely something I need to work on. I am taking some chassis design classes right now so hopefully I can use some of that knowledge and figure some ways to get traction. I already have a few ideas in mind for that part. I just want to do one build and be done with it. For now at least. I was kind of thinking getting some 10:1 mahle pistons and running a high compression turbo motor on e98 but that may come later.

How do you plan on keeping the head down? My problem wasn't the short block (minus shattering oil pumps and cracking cranks reving to 9000rpm), it was keeping the heads down. IPS has/had some A1 research head studs and I know a few years ago there was extensive talk about pinning the heads, not sure where that discussion went as I pretty much just tune bolt-on 3s's now.
