What are your goals with this rebuild?

How much HP can the "Stock" Rods and Crankshaft can handle before Serious upgrade is needed? That is what I meant to say..
I have my P8R head fully ported polished. Crower Cams double valve springs, chrome moly retainers, Ferrea stainless steel valves. Crower cams Stage 2 cams. Skunk2 intake, Skunk2 70mm throttle body. With Crower Adjustable Cam gears. Ceramic coated the cylinder face of the heads and the faces of the valves. Valve spring have been shot peened and Teflon coated. Skunk2 alpha series large tube header. ID 1000 injectors with AEM high volume fuel rail and AEM fuel pressure regulator. AEM 320 green fuel pump. With all this said, I can still Go either turbocharging or NA.. ARP'd the mains and stud hurdle.oil windage tray. .... but lower end is not assembled just yet... if the crank can hold 550+ Well tuned HP. I'll keep it. As for the Rods?? Not sure just yet as I have no idea of what the shock Con rods can hold.. again, thanks for your help.

In order to push 550hp, I think its best to upgrade...

I'll wait to see if other FI crv's can step in.
