2.3l ford performance engine.

It’s not the same pattern and the wastegate is a problem.
why would you reduce compression? It’s not going to help anything. More boost and timing with lower compression is similar to less boost and timing on higher compression, it’s a more efficient engine with higher compression.

Reduce the potential for detonation and a cooler air fuel and more power om pump gas. And if I try out the cylinder support system I'll need oversized pistons anyways. The only oversized pistons I see out there are for the mustang and it runs a 9.5 ratio

I disagree completely, but whatever makes you happy I guess.
Also why would anyone need to bore to use a deck support anyway? Go ahead and bore a stock sleeve and see how long it lasts.

I’m already well over 350whp on my stock engine. I’m looking for around 400/420 to the wheels then I’m done pushing the stock engine. I know it can make more than that but it’s not going to last very long without breaking something. If mine pops I might consider a few more upgrades, I really feel like sleeves or at least a deck support would be the way to go for more reliable power handling.

Might be better off seeing if a 2.7 can be made to fit. They can make very good power.

Sure.
I will be happy with stock 2.3 and 400 to the wheels. Especially over a heavy iron block 2.7 and it’s associated problems

hopefully not out of the realm of possibilities, but id like that juicy 500 mark, maybe. im kinda like a fart in a whirlwind. just the other day i was 2 steps away from buying a 1972 ford escort mk1.
