    ditto. Mileage isn't necessarily bad.

    well you could push 10-12 on a stock GSR...couple of internals and others a little tuning some where's aorund 18...fully built out the ass and you could make it hold 30 psi...it is possible because GSR are better built to withstand boost...i know it is possible because i have seen a couple of Ls with and without vtec converison hold 30 psi and make around or at 600 whp but it's a honda so torque was shitty

    I say boost it, put like a block guard on it, and get a setup where u can put down like 300-350WHP, that would be a good amount of power for a DD car

    and of course you won't drive it around all the time at 30 psi more like around 14 or 16 it's just tuned to be able to hold 30 when you want it..but very short amount of time lol..only like a couple of runs at the track then turn it back down

    Peter's made like 475 whp, bone stock block, like 5 dyno runs and a couple at the track and was pulled when the built block was ready. Never blew up to my knowledge either.

    But don't expect it to last very long, even with a great tune and low boost, the ringlands will crush over a rather short period of time.

    Do not put a POS Block Gaurd in your motor. I was warned and i put one in anyway. I was a inexperienced dumbass! It distorted the shaped of the cylinder wall and restricted the coolant flow in the head. My compression sucks and the car runs 20 degrees hotter in the head than it should. Because it runs hot i blew a head gasket. You can leave the block alone for a low power set up. You can post the block for a little more power. You can sleeve the block and never worry about it again. NO Block Gaurd!!
