    10-15 psi on a stock block is not a good idea!

    Beef the block up with all new parts (Aftermarket) cost 900-10,000
    up to you but I suggest reading up more on it..

    LS block running 10lbs is the max I would go , maybe 15 tops with tune only few times a month not daily...

    B16 block I would rather get a GSR block an boost on it and your B17 head will work on that block also!


    Please Get it tuned!
