The sleeves are 'weak' for the un-tuned.

You don't need to re-sleeve until you're runnning ~15-18psi +
when properly tuned.

Get a 'real' tuning tuning solution, AEM, Hondata whatever.
And your 370's are your limiting factor now anyway.

With your current management as it is: VAFC with 370cc inj. You won't be able to get much past ~8psi. NOT because of the 'weak' sleeves.

12.5 PSI is fine on the stock sleeves. If you go any higher you might want to sleeve it.

Mine cracked at 14 PSI or so , tuned ...

The B20 sleeves are of a one peice design rather than single sleeves
