check out some posts by jinxproof99 for the (extreme) limits of stock sleeves. while you've got it apart though, i'd go w/ the GE sleeves. it's up 2 u.

how much horsepower/boost are you hoping for?

well honestly im not looking for sheer hp/boost #'s, my main concern is RELIABILY AND longevity. i dont want to be tearing down the motor every 6 months, so i guess its a given to go w/ the sleeves.

save a little now and spend alot later is what it all boils down to huh?

on me
