Boosting a Y8

[Dirka Dirka]

Okay....Im new to the world of boost, so any suggestions whatsoever, or any help would and will be greatly appreciated. Okay, I have a D16Y8 which is being fully built for boost except for the fact that it will have stock sleeves. How much boost is safe for a D-series motor with stock sleeves, and how much power can i expect to make?

full build u should put a cpl block gaurds in it and ur looking at 15 psi 300 maybe

[Dirka Dirka]

Yeah its got CP pistons, Eagle rods, and a block guard. Those are the numbers i was kind of expecting.
