How much boost we talking here? What strengthening have you done to the block itself?

Probably around 20-22 PSI. The block is just a semi closed deck 257 with Manley conrods, Mahle 99.5mm pistons, 2.5L STI crank, ACL race series bearings.

the 160xxx 207 probably would of last longer than this 257! haha nah should be alright. I've had my fair share of bad experiences with the ol' 257 shitter. Did you recently build this? are you on a run in tune at the moment ? I was wondering why its only making 360hp, should pull fair bit more after your run in and get its final tune.
