Has anybody attempted to bore and sleeve an SVX? I plan on strengthening up and refurbing my entire engine over the next year with a goal of eventually running 15-20 lb of boost.
This is exactly what I was thinking for Michael's supercharger kit specifically (but any force induction application in reality). I was thinking this would be worth loosing a bit of displacement in order to gain sidewall strength for higher boost numbers... instead of what Michael was thinking (as in closing the deck). I'd much rather keep my water jacket. Maybe he will look into this after he is done with the kit.

EDIT: I wasn't actually thinking about boring it first... just putting in a thicker sleeve.
