I'm running a stock bottom end, I wonder if I do this with a HCI swap will I blow the bottom end out the bottom end

What is your compression ratio?

The stock bottom end will be fine with a good tune…it's the block itself that is going to be the big weakness.

I think one of the best investments you can do is to get a good air/fuel meter. If you have good air/fuel and aren't to greedy with the boost you can do it with a stock bottom end. It is when people get greedy they get in trouble.

You can't buy a 360, but you can buy a turbo. Things are not adding up mang.

I'm getting a 360 when I sell my 01 GT soon, but no I CANNOT afford a turbo as of yet... I'm waiting on some investments to pay off. If they don't I'll be SOL

Car is stock right now, I have the HCI stuff just haven't done it yet. What I worry about is the Combustion Chamber size being 58cc

I would not be greedy, I just want 7's in the 1/8
