i boosted a z6 and a y8 without having to "build" the motor and ran on them for about a year a piece til i sold them(still with no problems), they have a good compression ratio to start with, fairly sturdy cyl. walls, and if you do blow it, you can replace a single cam for like $400 or less. I ran a steady 8-9 psi the whole time and loved it, but i sold both the motors and am starting a new project. Just my $.02 GO FOR THE BOOST
