I believe that the stock D sleeves are very strong, and would hold up above 400WHP. The problem is that those can't witstand even a small detonation, which cracks them up even at 150WHP power range ...
there are too many guys with over 400WHP on the D-series stock sleevesand I'm gonna be one of them next year most likely
Ehh, if only I had time to do work on my car ....
When FULL-RACE PINKs car made 476whp (highest SOHC turbo i know of) they did it on stock sleeves. however they had:
CUstom camshaft
GT30R
Full-Race Manifold
Headgames ported $3000 head
custom intake manifold
springs, ret oversize valves
rods an pistons.
if they could only get 47xwhp out of it, with an UNLIMITED budget, i dont see a STOCK head an intake making 400whp, sorry. with Halfwits, we learned that the head really hits a wall above 7000rpms. I was hoping for 300whp on pump which i think is still attainable, but i dont see his stock head making 400whp and i wont push stock sleeves to above 20psi, MAYBE 22-23 with a shit ton of timing pulled out.
