Re: Building boosted gsr BLOCK G OR SLEEVE?
If you are planning on having a shop put the engine together I would call a couple of them to get an idea on the price. I know that someone said Inline Pro but I would call others to compare the price to what work is being done. I have used Jim Justice in the past and I think that he does good work but it might take a little while but I was getting a race motor put together.
If you are in a price issue you really do not need aftermarket came to make power. I am making 800+ with GSR cams and they seem to work just fine.

81.5mm motors people do daily on stock sleeves, you will be fine.
I'm unsure about the block gaurd thing, I personally never would use one but some people have luck with them.
What turbo do you plan on running?

Nope, you must have a machine shop put the sleeves in. It takes precision to drop those in..... It's not a simple bolt-on process.....

I would give a place like inline or Justice racing engines a call. Most people will never be able to install there own sleeves because of the machines that are involved in the process of getting the block ready. If you have the money to have the block sleeved then do it because most people change there mind on the HP level when they are finished and it is better to be safe than sorry.

Its so easy to make 400whp with a piston/rod block with a worked head. Not the easiest with a .57 trim but its easy with a little bigger turbo.

Re: Building boosted gsr BLOCK G OR SLEEVE?
The turbo will run out of breath up top on psi levels above lower 20s. .63 hotside and 60ar cold?
Read the bold.
He's already shooting for 400 to 500.
Also, why do you keep saying worked head?
Kyle, it would be wise for you to lurk in this topic. I'm not bashing, just trying to prevent you from getting into a debate you know nothing about. (i.e. Hatchman's arguement for ARP vs. Golden Eagle.)
