Brain3208

its as safe as you make it.....which is best answer i can give you without knowing the rest of your setup(fuel management, injectors, internals,etc)

please include as much info with your questions as you can to get a better response from people.

i heard those blocks were good for around 200 whp although others have pushed them farther.

Y8 would probably be more likely to fail from continuous high RPM operation that it would see boosted. If you don't want to spin a rod bearing I'd say keep the rev limit low.

You can do anything you'd like and it may work out but I wouldn't risk it. That's alot of miles on the old bottom. It could be in great condition or it could be ready to pop. If something goes south and damages that built head, you're in for even more $$$. Do it once, do it right.

Always boost a stock bottom end before the built one. It only gives you more experience before risking the money block.

As long as the engine is healthy, there's no reason not to boost it. Get a good tune and you're good to go
