Yeah, I've seen Honda motors blow at 180hp, whats your point? All the girdle goes is keeps your block in nice pieces afer it splits.

The local shop where they do mostly Mustangs and Corvettes said a girdle would be the best thing. I was asking about building a stock block fox body car.

Everyone has their opinions but that doesn't make them right. Corky Bell says An FMU is good fuel management for boost.

True, but they build some nasty cars and they are the foremost authority in the area. They know what they are doing. www.JandMMotorsports.com They are also now the only Calloway rep in the NE that I can think of. They were courted by Calloway for quite a while because of the reputation for quality work and amazing cars that come out of there.

Corky Bell published a top selling book on how to turbo your car.

A rep of Evans Tuning told my friend that a homemade turbo setup isn't reliable.

Just know when to say when.
