d17 + gt30 + 31 psi = .....
Re: d17 + gt30 + 31 psi = .....
Hey I just got home and got your message. Went away for the wed aniversary this year. Congrats dude thats sick man. Just thinking maybe you might wanna ask J.E. but we might wanna weld some straps around the plenum of that intake mani, lol. IDK if I tested it for 30+ psi and it would be a lot easier to re-enforce it now just for safety sake. See what he says next time you talk to him, if he thinks its neccesary. Again congrats, I know what kind of work it takes to make this stuff happen, its not an easy road to go down.

Word, man. It seems to be holding fine. We did the reinforcements on it a few years ago, I think it's good to go. But I'll mention it to him and see what he thinks.
P.S. He was really impressed by your work
Everybody who sees it is, too.

Not at all. Stock sleeves are stout and easily good past 400whp. Look at Andy's build. 489whp on stock sleeves. Only things he upgraded in the block are the rods, pistons, and head studs.
Re: d17 + gt30 + 31 psi = .....
he didnt do anything all that bad. in fact, hes got it mostly fixed and ready to go to IA this weekend. hes just missing one part but ill let him come and add to this thread whenever he feels like it. just dont start spreading rumors that he completely blew his motor or anything that crazy.

Re: d17 + gt30 + 31 psi = .....
Ya'll are just splitting hairs. He misshifted and something minor happened. It was enough for him to have to take the engine out to fix it. He knows the details though.
