i'll make my attempt to prove this when spring rolls around!

Throwing around psi numbers is worthless. It all depends on the tuning and the CFM the turbo can flow because we all know that a smaller turbo makes less power at a given psi than a larger one.

ya, well i farted.
othing wrong with having multiple motors. personally, i wanna build another on the side for all motor. would it be a waste? no, itsa my money and ill spend it how i please. itd only be a waste if i sat around doing nothing, which would be a waste of time.

A 4g63 holds 21 PSI stock. :fawk: 35+ with ARP's, forged internals and o-rings. A lot cheaper than sleeving a LS motor... but good luck squeezing that cast iron block into a Honda.
Whoever told you a LS motor can hold 20 PSI... don't listen to them anymore.
