Block Sleeves - When are they necessary?

Hi gang.

So currently I have Wiseco 9:1 CR forged pistons and Eagle Forged Connecting Rods and I plan to retune and up my boost to 12 PSI. Should I sleeve the block while I'm at it or is it un-necessary?

I bet haha. But manual will always be more fun than AT imo ^^. I'm loving my boosted baby G haha. So fun with a manual tranny and RWD. Did you go from a roll or dig?

Yah launch control helps off the line fsho. That's awesome though. I think RWD is more fun than AWD tbh. You in a coupe or 4D?

Sleeves are only needed for high HP builds. I'm at 11.5psi and putting down a little over 500awhp. With the 9:1 compression you should be able to have more boost to begin with (the forged pistons and rods help too)
