Performance limits on stock components

Post by Seabass »

New guy looking to start a discussion on where the limits are on our cars. My hope is to get a good understanding on limitations before setting unrealistic goals for my budget. For example how much horsepower you can make with which components, how much power the drive train can handle. I've read lots of threads and builds on people throwing parts on with not much mention of why. For example oil pump and ls2 chain tensioners when swapping cams. What fails and at what level. Also I think there is a bunch of people mismatching aftermarket parts and sharing combinations that work properly would benefit everyone. :)
