I beleive this motor was not designed for much boost, and as such would not hold up.
I guess we'll see about that, depends on what you mean by "much" boost. Mine held up fine @ 8psi for 9 months.

Otherwise, your points are good and you have to do what's right for you.

OK, in my region. :) I'll retract that comment.

I am watching your build cali, and respect your point of view. It seems like most people here either are straight line racers or occasional auto-x/SCCA types. I guess i would try to sleeve the walls and try to get like 15-20 psi if i were to drag race the yaris, as i suspect his option is.
And for 1/4mile the LSD would be a great option to look into.
