Do I need a block girdle? DID SEARCH

Well, I did a search but it was inconclusive. I have a B18B getting GE sleeves, JE or Endyn pistons, eagle rods, TURBO. Looking for 350+ HP. Do I need a block girdle? I am not planning on high revs, just high boost. Someone set this straight once in for all. It is $400 I could use on something else if I do not need it. Thanks,

What are you considering high revs. I was going to raise it to 7.3-7.5. Does it have any benefit whatsoever with high boost? Thanks again.

it good to tie in block girlde to keep everyhting in tact at higher revs. Its not really necessary if you keep a stock like configuration. But for 270 for a block girdle i would getone.
