That's nuts on a stock block haha. I have my MBC set to about 8-9 PSI, and on a daily basis my engine hardly sees 5 PSI (half throttle). Only times I have the need to max it out is for a few spirited tests or showing off to my friends with a test drive.
I'm more worried about spinning the bearings than snapping a rod. [shrugs]
I definitely won't bore the block, but to hone it and possibly run 96 mm pistons. That's it. Are the pins treated or coated in any fashion?
OK, I probably don't see the need for GTX turbos then. I wouldn't mind getting new/updated internals before re-installing, though.
