like everyone is going to tell just ditch the K8 but 6-8 psi and around 10psi max. just dont forget the k8 rods/pistions are weak so your safer /w a KL. and Same goes for sleeving just a waist of time and money plus its not a honda so it would be a custom job GL. But 300hp can easy br made from the KL boosted ..........

i agree 6-8 PSI max on a K8 with stock internals. i would just turbo it ... have fun with it blow it up and swap it after the fact. shouldnt be too hard to make the K8 turbo fit the new KL you get. also if you plan on boosting get a DE it should be safer because of the lower compression.
