For messing around, it tends to read high, I've used it many times. The are a very respected name for Hondas.

Well throwing a PSI # at you is not the best to help really. Being it'll depend what you are using as FI. You stated you want a blowzilla (2.1L roots blower) are you sure that's not going to be over kill?

Are you planning on doing rods pistons etc ?

Really with wedge motors they can't take as much comp or a psi (compared to same sized/speced inline) Just the nature of the beast. Not at all to say they are weak or bad.

For knowing when you pass what 92 is safe start looking at other builds what the get away with, tuning is key for sure. But there are also limits what the metals can take. Remember gas we get isn't always perfect so don't tune to the finest hair for .01 extra HP unless it's a bracket car.

I've built a ton of motors planned even more for people and tuned a bit. The only 5L I did was retrofitted to carb touch of boring, and a big lumpy cam.

A 5L plus a t-56 would be a joy stock with a good roots on it yum!

Please feel free to ask any questions or tell me I went over your head. I tend to do that lol.
