I wasn't saying it can't be done. I have known a few people to put boost to stock engines. One was a turbo'd Silverado SS (8psi). The other was a Maggied GTO (12psi). Both ran for about a year but had piston failures. You can make great power out of stock engines. But the point I was trying to get across was that cheap and longevity do not go hand in hand. I would rather build it right the first time than rebuild it multiple times because I was too impatient to save up for a proper setup.
