d16 bore size
 

i picking up d16a6 block pretty soon. i want to know if i can bore it .20 over to get the walls good and still have the walls safe for 300+ hp.

im going to use wiseco pistons and tuner toys rods

stock sleeves are pretty weak, you *could* run 300hp out of it, but if you detonate, say goodbye to that bottom end. Also, you may have a block that has been rebuilt and been bored out already. You really have to bring it to a shop and have them measure it for you.

If you are going to be running 300hp, I would advise you to get a sleeved block instead.

I'm getting my ZC bored .020 over. I'm not shooting for 300+ granted but IMO as long as I had a good tuner I wouldn't worry about it. You won't have much room for error though. Good luck. What comp pistons are you using?
