Keeping my foot out of it would basically be doing the same thing as turning down the boost, right?

ah now I'm just trying to justify keeping it at 730whp lol

BTW that was done on a "Dynopack"...never heard of that. perhaps the numbers are on the high side? Like a dynojet vs mustang dyno
If you don't have the $$ up front for the $3-4K forged rebuild then you could buy the car, put in a shift light at 5500rpm or so to give you a warning that you're risking it. Or you could lower the rev limiter to the rpm on the graph where it's making 600rwhp. When you save up the 3-4K which will be sooner than you think, you can forge the motor.
