i know, your the exception, the ringlands will fail, trust me, ive had enough of them come through here.

I think we are all saying the same thing, for me , as a shop, i wouldnt reccomend over 250whp on a B16, or over 270whp on a GSR.

as indivuduals, if your making more an want to push the limits of the motor, thats your call. you are the only one that has to live with your consequences if that makes sense.

Put it this way, a stock :
B16=135whp, making 250-300whp is DOUBLE that factory rating
GSR=145whp, making 270-300 is double the factory rating

thats alot of power on CAST pistons that if you detonate one time, it blows up
