as ditch says 450 is plenty of power for the road, a 2.5 forged build will last at that power as long as its built properly and the torque will be cracking.

If it's for road use only and you get it built with the appropriate power with some margin, then it should be reliable if built by a trusted builder.
Then budget for frequent oil changes to protect your investment.
If you start tracking it and racing then things are going to wear quicker.

Had 650+ on my old type r used it a daily driver for nearly a year, drove it hard given the chance and the only thing i had to change was the rad as it was catching and split at the bottom.
Other than that just servicing and fuel, the car made no sense as a daily driver 99% of times but that 1% when everything cametogetherd was all that mattered good times
