If money is no problem then i would go with the Racing block.

You can run as much boost as your turbo can throw out and it still could take more.

well, the main reason is the fact that the motor has .020" over pistons(fail on my part)..... so im going for long lasting vs power till i can build the next motor (this winter if im not happy with my current setup)..... then mid 400 easy, but my power goal for now is 300+ @ 1 bar....... but that should be more the enough for a auto-x car. I will take handling vs power any day
