As a wise man once said "If it's cheap and fast it's not reliable but if fast and reliable it aint cheap". Morale of the story is if you want it reliable prepare to shell out some cash.

Psi is irrelevent. I have seen a stock y8 with almost 230hp at 10psi. Repeat after me: It's all in the tune. Now his motor did only last about 6 months, but it was due to his heavy right foot and a stock fuel delivery system.

what kind of answer is that? what about the engine itself and tuning?

nothing is reliable unless it's built and tuned right..
