On your F/i setup, it's VERY important to build that bottom end and top. Having a balance to run the turbo. Because you will blow something if you're running to high and something isn't built. Of course you know that tuning is key since you're boosted.
and not necessarily, stock valve train is fine for boost, the only reason you really build the head is to be able to rev higher or squeeze out the most air flow.Kind of curious who agrees with this statement from the other thread
ding ding ding we haz a winner.im not, turbos are gay

what risk is there to the head from FI that there wouldnt be with NA?Of course I meant once you're getting up there.
I know a stock Honda can take it. I never said it couldn't, what is your debate?
It all depends how much.
Tuning is key, am I wrong?
For the head to remain fairly reliable with less chances of jacking it up. I really don't understand your debate here.
yeah straight ls, i might get some crower cams and valve train down the road, that would put me at a daily'able 400hp.good stuff man.
youre straight ls? You thinking of putting any cams in?

what do you mean by "getting up there"?Of course I meant once you're getting up there.
So I guess this guy wasted money building the head...what risk is there to the head from FI that there wouldnt be with NA?
Tuning is key for ANYTHING
