Its a cast iron block, so i wont need to sleeve it unless it do some mad over boring (i believe .03 is the MAX)

Just my 2cents.

Well of course running low comp pistons is going to net less HP then running 10:1 comp with the same PSI, but 10:1 is to high for running reliable boost. Its pushing the limits of detonation and engine knock. The SVT bottom end is only reliable up to 13 psi or so, but if i run 8.5 or 9 i can run 15+ psi, but that all depends on how much boost the plastic manifold will handle, which is the toss up right now lol
