[QUOTE="StevenStarke, post: 13635270, member: 127727"] The more I think about it, I'm leaning just putting a Boss block in. The stock sleeves aren't really worth pushing past 1000 whp anyway right? I just feel like if I'm going to get pistons with upgraded pins and expensive rods, it's a waste to put them in with stock sleeves. At that point I'd rather sleeve a block, and my finances just aren't there right now. I feel like I should take it easy for now and just put a boss block in, do the head studs, oil pump gears, head gaskets and fuel system and keep it around 600-650whp on pump. Make 800whp on E85 and leave at that. I'll have this car for a long time so there will be plenty of time to do another motor a few years from now. Even if I were to push it past that on a built bottom end, I'd then exceed the limits of the trans that much more, clutch, rear, etc... [/QUOTE]
