since there only 100 bux i think im gonna get one instead of having nothing at all. id rather be safe than have a 2000 dollar motor thats worthless after i put 15psi thorugh it.

After everything I have read about block guards... ---- block guards and I would never use one in any of my cars. I would be more worried with a block guard than if I had nothing. Spend that 100 bucks on tuning and you will be fine.
