Max power can LNF handle
What would be the max power the LNF handle on stock internals? I am about to buy a 511hp LNF stock internals and seller says the car runs great since 2016. S256 27psi on 91 octane as I live in Québec, Canada. Rotated trans mount, catch can and charge pipes + intercooler.
Is it luck of LNF can really handle 500hp stock? If yes, I guess that going for more power I should build the engin with pistons/rods.
Thanks guys!

Engine will work fine at that level I think, long as tune and supporting mods are in place. Trans becomes the first thing to go once you crest 400whp. People on here have blown up 3rd gear. Boost ramping might help prevent that if that’s built in.

This is a question with many variables. It really matters how the car is driven. Some high HP Cobalts only do a roll race or two each week, others are driven much harder on a daily basis. If you auto-x or road race, that's yet a whole other animal.
I have spun bearings in an (at that time) stock LNF at a mere 360whp but this happened while lapping at a road track...

Yes it was dyno'ed. Tuner was Chris Zelinsky from Canada if you know who he is. Best reputed tuner for Ecotec here. The tune is well done for sure. He tuned mine too but the one I'm gonna buy was dyno'ed for real!

Well.. car has 434whp for real and I was just wondering if anything would be fine at this level. Never drived a car over 320whp other than my Turbocharged right now. Can't wait to drive this little monster ahah.
