Do you have any idea at what point the internals of the n55 would start needing to be upgraded? Is 600whp even close to the limit for the stock internals?
I'm honestly not 100% sure on this. I've seen plenty of cars run 500-550 wHP for an extended period of time. This is on the non-M2 N55. I've recently seen a few cars crest into the high 500's, even low 600's on the stock block.

As for the reliability at those upper levels... not quite sure just yet. It's kind of uncharted waters and I'm not sure if I want to be the pioneer for that one!
Haha, I figured.

When I first got my M2 and joined these forums, I sort of assumed there would be a bunch of guys with sleeved blocks, or blockguards (probably too ghetto for bimmer guys), and various other upgrades (stronger head studs, rods, pistons, etc). Not the case...

Pushing it or not, that's why this is my new favorite build to follow. Someone finally making some decent power!
