for 650 i dont think its a bad deal. parts are worth a bit so thats a plus. and correct my if im wrong, but isnt the idea to create as much power as possible with the least amount of boost?

i agree the pistons will probably go south fairly quickly, but a high compression (ima guess close to my static compression ratio: 9.58:1 or a lil lower somewhere) low boost setup could potentially have more power. the 7m platform has been gone through like this before and yes, the results were....unfortunate. but i believe it could be done right, ppl have been building small block chevys, hondas etc like this for years. but not by someone willing to get rid of it so cheap. in my mind.
