ok well im building a Z6 and my power goal is set at 400whp and i cant afford sleeves so i have to pick out of one of these options ....but block guards can cause over heating if done wrong and posts involve drilling the block ...im not sure which to pick so im seeing what other people would choose because they have used them or heard stories about them

 

you forgot your 3rd option........lowering your power goal about 100whp or so.

 

no need for that ..i want a crazy *** sohc but im on some type of a budget and sleeves arent in the budget area

 

oh, so you want a lot of power, are on a low budget, and want it to be reliable? you can only get two of those things, take your pick

 

what are you power goals?

 

well i mean im not shooting for 600hp or anything iv seen 400hp sohc engines without any type of bracing between the sleeves and block..a block guard or block posts should be fine i just dont know which to get thats all...if i really wanted sleeves id just have to save for a while thats all

400hp

 

400hp is atainable without either. i run neither.

 

so you guys think it will be fine without anything?

 

me too.........on a gsr. not a d series.nor would i ever.

 

how much boost have you guys pushed the cars to?...and how many miles are on them..after a while they might crack..maybe...
