other ----.....

im about to start rebuild because im getting smoke from the breather valve, and a lot of folks her say and others i know say its from my rings being fired, so im like ---- it. also im planning to run a evo 3 16g

im just trying to decided whether to get a rebuild kit, with aftermarket parts and rebuild or save up more money to just have it resleeved and built (which will take me way longer to do)

i might just go that route to be on the safe side and that way i can boost the hell out of the car sense it just my track car.

15psi boost is a good start, it's where piston engines stop being crap and start making torque. 25psi is good on a street car. You can go above 30 on a race car if you have a MAP sensor up to the job.

F22 powered race car The best amount of boost is as much as you can make the motor handle. How about 120 psi. Edge has a pro stock diesel drag truck running that.
