Anything 10psi and greater from a supercharger or 12psi and greater from a turbo you should change to forged internals. It really depends on the quality (safeness) of your tune too. 6psi with an edgy tune will make great power, but kill a motor quick.

yeha, a rebuild is gonna be necisary for anything over 8-10psi, if that.

omg okay... the essexs block is a beast... and the engine has a ton of trial and error ... that motor has been around for ever... and its really stout... people beat on them in the super charged thunder bird for a while... it will hold to what ever you want to through at it... you want have enough money to push that engine to its limits
