    that sucks big time! I honestly would dump that engine, get out what's still good and get a used USDM engine on ebay from a donor or look into some JDM options, but that would probably require extra wiring work. I don't know I am just throwing ideas around. We don't even have emission around here so you don't even need to worry about not having an obdii.

    I guess stock EJ257's can't boost high without oval'ing the walls???
    Time to find a closed deck EJ22T? hahaha

    I DO wonder if having the block closed deck with the CNC Billet piece pressed in will help it. This is just the top, so it might oval in the mid-section of the cylinder.

    I was also thinking it might be time for a 22T block as well... It might oval the mid section of the cylinder you are correct. I'm going to try and research maybe a better way to get to 500whp without having to go to 28psi.... There may not be a way but if its out there im going to try and find it. Basically my biggest problem with these motors is not handeling that high of a boost pressure. So if there is a way to get the desired HP without having to run as much boost..... hmmmmm

    Not true.

    I've met a number of them who couldn't count to twenty if they left their socks on, let alone try to spell Camaro.

    a twinscroll 40r or s366 will get you there easy. ron was at 400whp at 16psi. i was at 450whp at 23psi. our kits should be able to do it easy but we are in the middle of testing them now.

    Hey if something works something works. Show me another car that can make reliable HP dollar for dollar. Hell a local guy sprays his and makes like 700 whp and never has to fix anything.
