Default How long before this grenades?

Check this out, a 0.040" over LS-3 block! Got to think the liners are paper thin...

It will probably be fine with no boost or N2O.

We've gone 4.100" on several builds of our own...you definitely need to spend the time to ensure you have enough wall thickness, and not all blocks will, but we have had success with it!
