Message	When I rebuilt my engine (and the only engine I've rebuilt) I used the bearing grades punched on my crank and block. I've been running 11-12 psi of boost on an SZ tune and my last dyno tune (before my 740cc injectors) I put down 315 hp. Now I'm probably making more power with the bigger injectors and test pipes but lets say the power is still the same. I had blackstone examine my oil and they actually said that the engine is healthy and should last. I'm just curious at what point (PSI or HP) does one consider the stock clearances not sufficient and need to go with more clearance. But ofcourse at that time I did not even consider bigger bearing clearance cause I never tackled something like that and had no idea what would be invovled in that.
