I believe Mike Kojima's nephew owns a car that made 540+ WHP on a completely stock internals SR20DE. Not a DET. An N/A block.
Stock head bolts. Stock paper head gasket. Stock cams. Stock pistons. Stock rods. Stock compression ratio.

This is common knowledge around here.

True.

I think the race gas bonds with the gasket to make it stronger.

Edit: ZOMG sarcasm! I didn't mean it guys! It was a joke. Don't kill me.
