Do you think you're going to need heat shields above the steering rack to protect it?

^^^ the more you bore the motor the weaker the block gets, becasue the cylinder wall gets thinner

i know there are plenty of high HP cars with a 4.125 bore, but it seems like the op likes to overbuild stuff. and i can not blame him for that

We turned the boost up to 18# and made 803 to the wheels spinning some on the dyno. The IATs went to 109 with the twin procharger 4.5" intercoolers for those that were interested.

Regardless of the amount of forethought in any project, I always think there are changes you would make if you were to do it again.
