It depends... on your expectations and the realities of:
Stock short block durability
Fueling system upgrades
Tune

Aim for 180atw and it should last a while if tuned properly :)
Or 200 and a bit if you feel like pushing the envelope a little...

Have low expectations and you won't be disappointed. :P

Newbie has the ultra rare gtb manual.

Vf52 is great for stock engine. No need going bigger and blowing things up. Add e85 later (if you're brave and if your block isn't too old) and you'll have enough power and torque for a perfect daily :)
