#1 Stock Build w/ stock internals. Keep it simple and go back to downpipes and a stage 2 tune.

#2 Stock Build w/ some upgraded internals such as KING/ACL bearings for longevity and peace of mind. Downpipes and a stage 2 tune.

#3 Fully Forged with stock turbos, downpipes and a stage 2 tune. Stay with stock clutches and keep power below 725hp.

#4 Fully Forged with stage 1/2 turbos, upgraded clutches and the ability to build beyond 750hp. Then will have to make another decision on SSP or Deka. Both have issues reported.
Great summary of the potential options.
I originally went with option #2 and enjoyed the reliable power.
Then I was able to drive a F13 M6 with a sleeved and forged S63, it was an incredible experience and I finally pulled the trigger for option #4.
It’s neither reasonable nor justifiable, it’s purely a personal preference and all about being a power nut 😁
By the way, I’m very happy with my SSP Spec-R so far, but the engine is still in the break in period. Once massive levels of power are released, I will report back.

Happy motoring buddy!
