Hey . . don't get me wrong . . I'm happy that I did the blower . . . but with 103,000 miles on my motor . . well . . . lol

And, who knows. Maybe it'll hold together. We'll see.

You and him are not in the same boat. You have hypereutectic pistons which are not very boost friendly. I would not boost any more than you currently are. If you closely monitor your fuel and timing you could get away with more but not much more. Even if you do kill your block big deal just get an 88-93 block dirt cheap and get a cheap rebuild and your back in business.

If you had factory forged pistons you could boost the hell out of it and be more worried about head gaskets than the engine.

I'm not gonna invest too much in this motor, as I am starting my 427 build-up next month, or in November. But . . . I didn't know it had hypereutetics in it . . . thanks for the info.
