Default Boost on B18C with 82mm bores?

What are the chances of reusing my block when I build for boost?

It's a GSR block, bored to 82mm... I know 82 is the biggest I could go safely on stock sleeves with my all motor setup, but I'm throwing around the idea of boosting over the winter, and I'm just wondering if I should just start fresh with a stock 81mm shortblock?

Don't do it. That is my advice, I have built two 82mm blocks for a kid and both cracked sleeves.

That's what I'm thinking... I'll just source a stock block...
