It's still gonna handle like a boss too, Have you looked into swapping a different motor than another gze in there? I know you can put 20valves in there and the st accepts boost pretty well. Idk much about that though I've never been into boostin.. yet. I know the 20v motors have 7rib blocks. Do you know if the gze is a 7 rib or a 4 rib?

7 rib blocks are just the newer 4a blocks they're quite a bit stronger. There's people that use just the 7 rib block from a 20v and then use the 16v head, pistons, and other internals just for the added strength. I've heard the gze's have trouble keeping cool but never read into it much on how to fix that. I think that's more of a problem if you're gonna track your car though.
