Remember ESS tunes a conservative non water/meth tune. They provide their numbers based on 91 octane as well. With 93 octane and stock U.S headers I don't think 420 whp will be a problem for VT2. With Euro spec headers it will be slightly better. ESS also uses a Vortech V3 blower which is capable of 775hp, so the workload isn't even close to some kits out there that damn near over spin to make similar numbers with water/meth and hot belts. These guys no their shit!... simple as that. If one chooses to go beyond their recommendations with a different pulley/belt and water/meth then way more is possible like other kits..... but, at your own risk. I like ESS because they actually take a balanced approach to forced induction. Cheers
