Yes the new setup should see upwards of 1 bar if we are to clear the goals in mind
Im not sure what the stock engine will take,maybe you should drop one in with a custom ECU and see?.
In a few months i should be able to say what a stock head gasket will take

Yer thats what I plan on doing hopefully I should start that project in the next few months, I am just finishing off my other project now. It is a complete engine rebuild of a 2.5 16v cosworth engine.

as 2 ur comment in cardomain, the flwheel setup is going good! man i can light the tires up and step it out reasonably easily with a quick blip of the throttle or a light clutch tap, so responsive
but my new rear main seal is leaking like a siv, the bastard
why are you not going to change the headgasget at this time when your building your engine? do you think the standard one in your engine is pritty robust?

yea give the oem stuff a good test with 300hp+ you will :-)
nah the seal thats leaking is the rear main crank seal on the back of the engine which is a real bastard to change as you have to remove gearbox etc.
if you have to take the head off again remember to mark the cam chain tho
