Your right there Tony, there are alot more variables than just the boost pressure in an engine and when metals get hot under pressure and wrong timing/mixture is involved then other parts i.e. liners have alot more stresses on them causing failure.
Hoping to run late 20's (psi) at tops or maybe slightly more for a good quarter mile run, for everyday use i'm probably looking around 14-20 psi for reliability.
Just pricing up all the parts at the moment, I think a good carb is the secret to a more relaible engine or switching to EFi.
I won't be switching to EFi though, I worked at PCS for sometime but i'm no mechanic (many qualifications in engineering not mechanics) although I can put an engine together no problem EFi is to complicated for me and i'm not a fan of technology
.
I like to stick with basics
