Therefore before I do that I'm deffinently going to want to rebuild the motor with some different valves, possibly some new cams, some stronger rods, and crank...and possibly some lower compression pistons. Im not to sure about resleving it seems kind of expensive and somewhat dangerous. I dont think it's necessary for less then twenty lbs...I could be wrong there.
wow....um....you need to do some reading. 17-18 pounds of boost is a lot for a street car. possibly lower compression pistons? better make that positively.

EDIT* you say you have a second gen teg, yet you have a 3rd gen in your sig :thinking: :eh:
