yea, usually if you wanna boost 1 bar you should get 81.25 max with stock sleeves, just my opinion

The sleeves are cracking to detonation which probably means bad tuning. What octane are you using?

Re-sleeved blocks can handle this though, correct??? I have dartons with a 25 overbore and will run 18psi with the hondata 4b fully built EVERYTHING as well as 720cc's, will i have sleeve cracking problems as well?

not with descent tuning, you shouldn't have a problem at all...

I don't think you should assume that without seeing the guts first.

I dont think you will crack Dartons. They are so totally different than stock sleeves.
