A Scooby buddy of mine helped with my block measurements a few weeks ago, and noted the heft of the A-series casting. He said I should be able to cram a ton of boost into it. I had planned on no more than probably 15psi, but was wondering if maybe more boost is realistic on an A-series? I know that there are some silly pressures crammed into the old block, but I'm wondering about streetable, sustainable (i.e., no destroyed engine bits!) boost pressures... **************************************

I don't think you'll find the block as the weak link, what about the head gasket ? and the clutch and transmission ?

Although my engine is dyno'd at 21 psi i only run 14/15 on the track for sustained lengths of time, occasionally turning the boost up on the move to overtake.
