I going back and forth on what I want to do..I want sleeves for the Insurance. I would love for my car to be 1000 wheel all day long without pushing the limits of the motor. But I love that RPG sells a short block non sleeved that they say can handle 1200hp on the stock block, all day long and it comes with a 12 month warranty. TkM comes with no warranty.
I want to go with the RPG non sleeved block but I've talked to a guy with a stock coyote block with (rods and pistions)pushing a 1000 wheel non sleeved and he cracked the block right at the head bolts. Got a new stock block same setup, took his heads off and noticed a little antifreeze in oil. He said the head gasket might have been on the way out. Talked to another guy with an aluminumtor block and he said he cracked a head head gasket. Aluminumtor guy was making around 900at rhe wheel. I'm thinking the sleeves with help with the head gaskets cracking. Tighter seal??
Exactly I don't want to have to go in the bottom end twice.
What I like to hear
What compression are you running?
How many lbs on boost? I was thinking 10.5 10.1. I have a Vortech V7JT
Do you run E85? You don't have to sacrifice compression like we used to years ago. I run about 19-20psi now, and getting ready to pulley up to 24psi this year.
Wow!!!. I will be on E but I like to daily the car at times. I like to drive the car to Mustang week in SC about a 2 1/2 3 hour drive from me. So I guess I'll have a 93 tune and a E85 tune.
