not sure on the specs but if i were building the engine to run a 400whp i would be changing the rods. not sure if it would be necessary but if im gonna do it im gonna do it right so i dont have to go back and redo it. i take it your planning on a turbo to get that kind of power? im pretty sure u can get a JE or wiseco Piston kit with eagle rods for around $1000. im planning on makeing 300-350 hp with my N/A VR6 and i know that im gonna be running eagle rods.

I don't know what the limit is, but 400 is certainly way out of any range I would call "safe." In the case of a TDI engine, the safe range is generally about twice the stock 90 HP and 152 ft-lbs. Anything more than that and you need to start thinking about upgrading internals.
