Fit like Rocketheed :wink:

It would take a lot of pressure to blow the ends off an i/c...........but.............the problem you will face is that the std i/c will no longer be able to handle the heat of charge air over 13-14psi.
I am running 13psi and i get temps of +/- 55'c and that is as much as i want as it will get too hot, which is not good........

cheers :smile:
