Sleeves, rods, and pistons would be ideal.

Bah first thing is get better fuel management. Stock block can take a lot if you just get it properly tuned. Blockguard is nice and cheap too...just make the coolant holes bigger and you should be fine.

also, what do you suggest for fuel management?
I was thinking AEM EMS, walbro HP intank pump, (vortec or aem) fuel rail & fpr, RC 440 cc injectors.

It all depends on your definition of high boost. If 30 lbs. of boost is high for you, then you'll need a fully built block. If your thinking 20 lbs. of boost is high, then all you need is Hondata 4b and blockguard.

The AEM EMS isn't fully developed yet. The software needs to be updated before it can be as beneficial as Hondata. The software is so bad that even people trained by AEM have blown up a few engines.

Blockguard slides into the Block Sleeve to provide extra strength to the block, hence the name.
