Will a setup like this, originally built for all motor hold boost?

B16A bored/honed .5mm over with a P+P head/built valve train
Endyn Rollerwaves at about 10.8:1
7 layer head gasket (drops the compression about one point)
Tunertoy rods
Endyn Fluidampr

Can this setup handle 300ish to the wheels daily? I'm running a Precision T3/T4 57 trim .63 A/R. I also plan to have a second boost setting on my Profec to make about 400 whp. What am I looking in terms of reliability and strength?

its not that hard to buy a new set of pistons and rebuild the block.

drSquish

I plan on saving that money for a sleeved LS block. That way if this dosen't blow I'll have two. Even if it does blow I'll have a block with more displacement at a lower price.

drSquish

yes? no?

Never been a fan of Those Big Layer Headgaskets. always end up being junk IMO.
I dont see why 10.8:1 would be bad the New Si and RSX's have higher compression its all in the tuning man. Good Fuel + Good Tuner shouldnt be a problem

drSquish

so my goals are reasonable...?

japan4racing

imho 10.8:1 is kinda high for boost. but if you keep the boost levels down it wont be too bad with a great tune. but just know that it is not recommended that you run high compression with boost

japan4racing

you can make the power you are asking about but its gonna take a tune. detonate one time and kiss it all goodbye! you on stock sleeves?

drSquish

yes, stock sleeves. I've been reading and some people say increase boost, not timing to get that kind of power on stock sleeves.
