upgraded internals are not necesary for a "low" boost application
ive heard it said on this forum
something like...
"i decided to prevent detonation with good fuel management, rather than build a block to withstand detonation"

im not saying upgraded internals are necessary, im saying insurance is insurance and if you can tune it out well enough and know your shit than you can get away with a stock block.

ive heard of several H22a's running boost above 9 pounds on stock internals.
but am i going to recommend someone go ahead and turbocharge a stock h22a and have a problem down the road?
no
as far as the supercharger goes...i thought 9psi pulley is the MAX boost you can run on it...so what is wrong with my statement?
we are talking about forced induction here, and i understand what those 2 words mean.
