Long block is an entire motor. Short block is the block minus the heads.

I can name a few reasons why it wouldn't. I hope youi have better luck than me, but I did up the boost to 10psi and had a UTEC and return fuel.

there's been so many people that have blown up their engines with the TN kit and UTEC, but it's supposed to be a great setup

seems to be more about the tune than anything else. On the list of stock motors with FI there are like 60 names and no one under 8 psi I believe has blown their motor (on that list anyway)
