with a good tune it should hold no problem.
but remember, there are a lot of variable that can go wrong, if a part fails, bad things can happen!
I rocked pretty much the same setup (minus blockguard) for over a year no problems.......350-400 whp daily driven.

Re: (SPOOLINmatt)
Yeah, that was the only part I was really worried about, but at 400-450 I've heard should be good on the stock sleeves.

it keeps the sleeves from rocking back and forth....it also adds a little bit of strength to the top 1/2" of the sleeve

i asked my machine shop guy the other day when i went to pick up a spare lsv-r motor about block guards. i have read numerous posts here of people pushing maddd power without the use of a bg. i asked what his thoughts are, and he said that he reccomends the bg. he also told me that they have never gotten a cracked sleve yet from they way they install the bg. what are your guys thoghts on bg's? how come you guys who are pushing around 3-400 hp on stock sleeves choosing NOT to go with a bg? im very curious, as i am contemplating on what to do.... either going stock sleeves with no bg, stock sleeves with bg, or sleeved. sorry for the thread jack btw

Re: (bnut510)
That's cool, I want to know to. I want to be pushing between 390- 410 eventually so I'd like to know more about block guards.

i was also curious about block gaurds, i just got a deal on a built motor that has one professionally installed and i hear alot about people who dont like them or say they would never run them. i kind of figured that if a rep-ed company makes them they cant be that bad. when i searched i heard that some have over heating issues, im curious to why or what are the down sides to them? not trying to thread jack

Re: (turbo_ls_69)
bump for some bg infos... pros and cons to y u would or would not use a bg for your 300-400 hp setup. i understand that alot of u guys are saying its not neccessary, but lets say just for piece of mind without the option of sleeving... would it be worth the $100?
