That, is the question… 😛

I’m going to go with b18a block, b16a head, JE 11.5:1 comp. pistons, eagle rods, ITR valvesprings/retainers, STR block guard, the z10 block girdle, and some better cams (either ITR or skunk2)  
Anyhow I was wondering if I decided to spray later on with a 50 or 75 shot of nos… Would I need to resleeve the block?

Thanks,

Harry
