Question about sleeving a Gen3 block

[HKusp]

So I have cylinder wall damage on my Gen3 block and because of the plasma lining, you can't hone them the only fix is a brand new block or to have this one sleeved. My intention is for this car to be a daily driven vehicle for the most part, somewhere in the 12K-15Kmile/year range. It currently has a fuel system and a GEN 5 Whipple, so somewhere in the 700+ WHP range on 93. Is sleeving the block and basically dailying it compatible or am I just going to have to go with another new block?

I went with a new block because I wanted the Gen III. My old block had some scratches, but I was assured they could all be fixed without sleeves. From multiple companies.

There's nothing wrong with going sleeved, and it's the preferred method. Regardless, sleeved is going to be basically the same price, if not more, as a new block.

Sleeves aren't recommended until ~ 1k rwhp, aren't they? Stock shortblock should be fine for that use
