[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16156897, member: 166576"] Stick with the 11 block. Some highly regarded people in the industry think its one of the strongest blocks produced by or for Ford. 11-12 were produced in Germany by Honsul. Factory pistons are Mahle Forged and honestly, its my belief that the stock powder rods are the limitation in these engines. You're goal of 850 is very attainable, and with new true forged rods, Id personally be hard pressed to think you need sleeves or a new block. Then again an inspection by a qualified builder who is familiar with these 11-12 engines should help you make the final call when the engine comes apart. Do your due diligence and as much research as you can. Speak with as many people as you can. In researching what I needed for the goals on my '11, I was extremely fortunate to have talked with several of the big names in the modular community. These people took the time to take phone calls from dumpy little me and point me in the right direction for what I wanted out of my car. For your goals, I dont think you need a lot done to the shortblock to reliably hit your goal, in my opinion. Biggest limitation is fuel both in delivery and quality. If corn (e85) isnt available like RBB states, talk to your tuner to see what he/she is comfortable with as far as power on 93 goes. [/QUOTE]
