I don't think anyone has met that limit

boost like 72 psi and see if thats it.

5 Million horsepower

No but really 450 doesnt seem to be problem, You should have no worries about the girdle at 400

Why does your sig read "Im a llama?"

IIRC tahts what the uberdata forums would default n00bs ava name to.

IMO as long as you use fresh bolts on the girdle - a custom ARP set would be a good idea - its really the oil pump taht will screw you. Thats assuming 40psi means a big turbo, meaning lots of headwork, meaning high-rpm. Enlaging the main gallery and modding the oil pump passage would help out a bit.

Definately get dynos of it first before 'track testing' the girdle, jsut in case. 40psi on a sleeved sohc should provide nice numbers, some of the highest non-spray numbers seen so far. :8

guess what.......

ARP doesn't make bolts for the girdle, not needed :)

Im a llama because ive never changed it nor requested it be changed its been a long time since ive been on here,I plan on quite a bit of things that i havent seen or heard of yet so it will be a good learning experience and if it fails ive got alot of good spare parts to get rid of or put on a new setup..lol as for the oil pump im gonna see about mating a SMALL gear to a ported out oil pump with higher PSI spring..it should work out..a plus to having my best friend working at a machine shop..lol
