I'm sure it's capable. hypereutectic pistons as well as piston oil squirters make it super reliable and very capable for more than just a tune (RR racing are currently running 420 whp with their supercharger with loads of track day miles). Comparing it to 340 is a whole other story, you're replacing speed for reliability, when you can have a middle ground for both with what's happening here. Toyota threw a supercharger on this engine for the Toyota Mark X in 09, if it can survive supercharging im sure it can survive this tune.

Awesome build, looking forward to see what else you add! Did you paint the AG style front lip? How’s the fitment and stability?

So if your engine we're to blow up or something you can just pull the file and they won't know. The tune so far is safe, no reason for it to damage the vehicle, it's dependant on the driver. Don't red line all the time and don't keep it at red line too long.

hey ru I just bought the rr tune , r u still liking it , any recommendations ?
