Why are you interested in that engine ? Do you want more HP or do you want reliability ?

Looking to make 1k “reliably”. Wanted to see if anyone had and experience with him.

I think fast forward racing engines does their work, which is a solid builder.

I would go through the actual builder rather than Sai Li. Lets just say timeframe and communication are not the best. Not with an engine but with previous orders.

After a recent experience with Sai Li delivering products that were not as advertised and refusing a return , I would avoid anything he has to sell.

Are you saying an engine wasn’t built as you ordered it or something else?

Not an engine. I purchased the "heavy duty" timing chains. Nothing about them appeared heavy duty. I called to inquire and was told Sai would call me. Apparently he couldn't be troubled so I asked to return my unused timing chains. My return request was denied because I had opened the package, which was the only way that I could properly measure them to determine that he was falsely advertise them. I was again told Sai would call me. He must be really busy.....

You can buy a 1000 HP rated rotating assembly for 2300 (including FP cranshaft) Darton sleeves for 700. 2k in machine work. I ticked the boxes for Sai Li 1000+ horsepower capable package and was up to just under 10 grand. And really you don't even need the crank in either kit. The 6 bolt main factory coyote crank is virtually indestructible. IMO rods/pistons/bearings/rings is all you need.

FFRE builds his for sure. I think Sai keeps some in stock, so the only advantage for me would be the turnaround time vs. having one built.
