Message	I'm looking for a V6 engine that I can build to run up to 9,000 RPM and generate 1000 HP. I'd like to try to do this with a production engine, obviously because of the much higher cost of racing engine parts. Does anyone know how far the production ZX twin turbo engines have been pushed, and what mods were required to create the bottom end and head hold-down strength to do it? It's my understanding they come from the factory with forged crank and rods, so I don't know if there's much to be gained with aftermarket parts there. What about mains? Are they 4-bolt, or can they be modded to 4-bolt? Is it possible to hold the heads on with 20-25 psi of boost? Ditto with the OEM manual tranny: how much can it take, and are there mods available to beef it up? I'd appreciate any specific advice offered, as well as direction to sources of information and parts.
