and 350whp or more with a c38 unit with high boost pulley (that on most car would give about 1bar of boost at high rpm) is not a concerning level of power and torque to worry about the engine?

If i m not wrong Cosworth did engine dyno test and they stated that anything over 0.65bar of boost and 280-300hp to the crank (250Whp or less) is unsafe.. that 's conservative for sure but here in Europe you don t get e85 in many countries
