[QUOTE="NTXRockr, post: 13707551, member: 143742"] I just ordered a Livernois 11.5:1 pro series, went through the same logical decision process as you are now. Only reason I didn't go with aluminator is that I haven't seen or heard of anyone spraying nitrous on it - it'll hold 1000-1300whp+ of boost apparently, but nitrous can be a little different as far as harshness goes. As far as mmr, many have great results with them but still quite a few have early failures so I didn't want to drop $4k on that greater chance (though the Black Friday $3100 offer for their 1000 shortblock was tempting...). As far as L&M, JPC/RGR, and many other reputable builders abound, most were charging $6-10k just for a built shortblock...which swayed me back to the aluminator choice for a week or two. I finally pulled the trigger on Black Friday with Livernois as they seem to offer the best in quality, overall package, at the lowest price (~$5300 shipped) and a decent turnaround time...and after discussions with all of the various builders and other racers I know I shouldn't fry a piston or snap a rod with their build as the block will pop before them (just like it would on an aluminator beyond 1000hp). Point is, if you're shooting for 500-800whp consistently on a boosted application, I personally would go with the 11:1 aluminator. If you plan on going with a bigger blower (i.e. lots of air volume) or 800-1000whp+ you might look into the 9.5:1 aluminator or a built shortblock to fit your needs. Anything over 1000hp I wouldn't chance it, and would go built for the added assurance plus the option for cylinder sleeving, filling the block, as well as your custom piston/rod setup that'll handle anything you throw at it.
