source: ive been running 370whp (mustang dyno) for 10 years now with a proper tune (haltech all the way) on a 3071 at 18 psi (with stock cams) and the engine has the same compression numbers as when the turbo was first put on the car.

Dont have a choice. I bought it with a spun bearing and owner did not want to have it rebuilt. Block is good. Crank either is or is not. If not will buy another one.
