Also if you are gunning for records you are going to have a hard time keeping up with the big tuning houses that have bukoo bucks to spend on every last thing on the car. I'm not trying to dissuade you from building a car that goes fast, but of it were me I would get another car to rag on on the track and keep this as a street monster. I just want to make sure you don't blow a lot of money turning this into something that you aren't sure you will like when it is all said and done. I did that several times with my car and always ending up kicking myself. I mean, you have already built the block twice and I'm not sure why you didn't have it sleeves this time round. That's it for my lecture, just make sure you do everything deliberately. |

So if it just got taken completely apart by your account why not just get it sleeved? |

I am perfectly aware that it is pretty much brand new car with only 12k miles as it sits right now and I am content with that! So what if it's a brand new car? Thats like saying, "why the hell would somebody twin turbo a brand new aventador"?! The reason I am doing this is because it will be unique and go as fast as humanly possible :-) As long as Nate and myself like the way the car is setup, I can care less what other people say/think about it... As far as competing with big name shops who have more money than I do to invest into the car, they should beat my ass at the track but who knows what can happen with the help advice/help from Nate @ TPG & Curt @ Curt Brown Racing who both have a very extensive racing background! We will just have to wait and see what happens when we get to the track... |

lol is your car so you can do what ever you want if you have the money or not.
and why would you have to sleeve the block? there is plenty of people running way more power with stock sleeves. The P&L 8sec drag car doesn't have an iron sleeved block. |

Why bother sleeving it now when the stock sleeves look perfect and it have barely ever been ran above 25psi so far? With between 28-30psi, this setup will make just about 600whp on the mustang dyno! If it blows, well then it blows up and we sleeve it at that point! |

Then why did you even build the motor in the first place? Why not just run your big rotated turbo and see how long it would last and when it blew up then build it?

I didn't realize that running a rotated kit with high boost on stock sleeves was so uncommon? We will try and make this engine last as long as possible with a spot-on tune from nate, proper maintenance, etc. but like I have already stated, when it blows up, we will rebuild with a sleeved block! |

Not quite sure why you are getting bent out of shape and calling people stupid? As already mentioned there are no negatives to a sleeved block if done correctly. But if the OP wants to see what he can do with his non-sleeved block then so be it. I was just curious as to why he wouldn't do it now since the motor was back apart.

I do not want anyone getting bent out of shape over a topic that we can go back and forth about for months lol If I knew that I was going to be running a rotated big turbo kit when I was choosing the block I wanted to run, I might have just saved some more money to have Sean @ Vigilant install them but I did not know what the future had in store... Unfortunately, do to the head failure, I am buying everything over again which is very costly and frustrating to say the least so I will be broke for a lil while! Over the winter, I will try to start collecting all the necessities for a sleeved shortblock which will surely impress with what Nate and I have in mind Until then though, I will be using this longblock with the stock sleeves with hopefully no problems and if it is in perfect running condition when I am done using it, I will sell the shortblock to help purchase everything for the sleeved block! I have no problem with discussion in the thread but let us please do so in a friendly manner please |

I have no problem running it at 28psi all day long and hopefully we hit 600whp on the mustang dyno which would be insane! If not, then I just take it to the DynoJet @ Wyotech and it will make over 600whp easily lol |

My old tuner says the same thing and for all practical purposes that's a safe limit.
