In Reply To	Why would you boost an NA block? posted by ChaseGrayTT on September 04, 2013 at 07:33 AM
Message	Running 350 rwhp and 420 rwhp on my boosted VerTTs at 12 and 14 psi respectively. Stock blocks. Both tuned by SpecialtyZ. Built the first one in 2005 - still runs fine despite endless comments like "It's gonna go boom", "Can't boost past 6psi", "i heard blah blah blah". Here is the comment that counts. From Greg Dupree after tuning it a few years back: "...runs fine ...!"
