didn't you already make a thread about this? don't worry about how high you're going to rev. worry about how much power you're going to make, and how reliable your setup is going to be.
cheap. reliable. fast.
pick two.

More like the stock sleeves are good for a lot more than people give them credit for.

The stock valvetrain is usually one of the first things to go when the RPMs get too high. The stock valvesprings are too weak for high RPMs. Why? Because the rocker arms, which are connected to the valves/valvesprings, will start to jump off of the cam lobes (valve float), kinda like riding a skateboard off of a ramp. Therefore, the valves aren't following the cam specs, the 4-stroke cycle is thrown off, and **** breaks. BAM! NOOOO!
This is just one of the many things you have to consider when you want to rev high.

The stock vtec valvesprings are fine at 7,600 rpms, its the sleeves that would take the hit. Especially with the boost. Also the rods and bolts are another weak link when combing boost with high rpms.

Re: would a stock b20vtec take about 8 pounds of boost? going to like 7600k (kinkbmx159)
thats the setup i'm running right now... stock b20b bottom (new rings), gsr head, with greddy kit for gsr.. right now it hits about 7-7.5 psi. I haven't run it hard yet because i'm thinking the 310cc injectors might be a tad bit small.. so I'm saving for some 370cc which should be good for that about (7-7.5 psi)... also i'm running the blue box that everyone loves to hate on, but i've had nothing but good luck with it... once i start running it hard i've planned on shifting around 7-7.5 rpms to be some what safe...
mods: b20b,gsr head w/ portflow springs & retainers, apexi n-1 cat back, act clutch and prolite flywheel, unothrodox 3- piece pulleys, greddy gsr kit, and every thing else is pretty much stock..

mmmm....there is a bunch of ''think they know it all'' posting here...
the durability of the sleeves; wich is why people diss b20's; is going to depend in your tuning.
there is people running lots of power on stock sleeves and there is also people that their sleeves cracked with..well not a lot of power.
For added insurance you should look into posting the block.

I agree, Ive seen b20 sleeves crack on all motor setups from inadequete tuning, so throwing boost in there can just multiply the likelyhood/severity of this event.
