As I have stated before, the HEADGASKET.
Here, in case you missed it...
Headgasket
If you get a MLS gasket, and properly tune the car, you can go past 10psi. The stock bottom end is stout. The problems I have seen is people trying for big power without proper tuning. The stock compression is 10:1, so with out proper tuning you will get detonation. And trying to compare a VR6 to a 4 cylinder honda is pointless.
