⚠️ Engineering Advisory & Rating Disclaimer

This tool has been generated using dyno results, customer data, and engineering calculations and simulations. These are estimates intended as guidelines and serve to provide information around recommended and maximum limits. All setups vary and exact limits are impacted by supporting components, balance error, tuning, type of usage, length of usage, oil quality, temperature etc. Our warrantied power and our rated power do not always match for this reason.

If you stick to our warrantied power levels it is unlikely you will experience a failure even if you have issues in one area of your setup. If you utilise the components full limit you must take care to optimise support components and tuning. Extended use high load applications like circuit racing, drifting, boats often require reduced limits due to sustained high RPM and load operation. Street cars that experience the occasional breach of those limits will likely survive due to the limited/short exposure to the excessive stress. We do not recommend exceeding limits in any case.
