dont, really need them, but I might install some if its worth it.

building an sr20det that can widthstand more then 550hp would be pretty f*ckin dope. Mazworx is getting upwards of 1600hp which is ridiculous.

I want to know if 800 or even 900 is possible, and what happens as you approach the fringes?

could be a pretty dope topic.

it sounds like you are going to eventually build an sr22 or 24...if so then you will need sleeves. If not then get a good tune and you will be fine. It all depends on bore. You only need sleeves when your walls are not going to be able to support your bottom end. Why do you want that much power? btw sleeves don't add power...and if you get it done make sure you get it done at the right place by the right people.

as the bottom end hits 600hp, friction and heat increase substantially...

what fails first?

I wouldn't invest in a build like this unless I did weeks of research, im just doing this so I can learn more.
