Just throw a turbo kit on it and get a good tune at 7 or 8 psi. You'll make a LOT more power and will still be in the green zone and should keep you happy for a while. When you decide to run more boost go ahead and build the motor with forged parts.
ARP headstuds would still be a good idea but a block guard will do nothing for strength.
that was what i was thinking bout doin getting a decent turbo kit and run 7 to 10psi max stock and getting it tuned.
until i run into some cash and get some forged internals but on the topic of the blockguard have anyone tried both setup
with and without the blockguard...i mean it may not be all that great but isnt it better to use the block instead of not
since it would be stock sleeves..on that note i heard the b16 sleeves could handle up to 400 hp is there any truth to it..
