There is a motivational poster of Datsun Z car with a blower sticking out of the hood doing a big wheel stand. The caption say "R200 YES it's strong enough."

That being said, yes it does concern me. But so far it has held my 1.5 60' times. I wanna see how far I can push it.

two years no problems with it, haha

Nice! I ditched that one to get the 4303. Damn near the same price, but almost twice the flow.

So you are squeezing out what, about 750whp on E85 out of that pump? That's not bad!

BUT...boost is a diff ball game. I'd stuff a tire under it first, look at a 275/60/15 hoosier, they seem to be compact for a "28" in tire
I was thinking of taking a forged LQ4 with stock valves, rockers, LS7 lifters, but upgraded springs and pushrods to 7200-7500rpm. How high have you guys taken your LQ4 up to and with what valvetrain changes?
