Anyone ever ran an F1-A on an AES boost motor? I've been hunting around trying to find a motor that will work good with my F1-A kit. I've gotten various quotes from different engine builders and came accross this last night..

Anyone ever used them? Seems like a good deal.

As stated before by many respected engine builders here, that 370 will work and those brands of parts won't be an issue at the power level you are looking for.

If I choose to go with the AES motor I'm defienetely going with the 370. Most likely ls3 heads and a custom blower cam from Bob @ Brutespeed.

Correct me if im wrong but isnt a f1-a a little overkill on a 370 for 800whp? ive seen d1's make that on 396's and 383's.

I'm considering that.
I've already got a quote from Eric for a new block I was just really trying to weigh out my options and try and find something already built first. I was happy with my HKE 408 he built but Im just really not wanting to wait 6 weeks or longer to have a motor built again,(which in my case w/the 408 it took about 3 months), unless I absolutely have to. It just sucks seeing my car on jack stands w/ no motor and an F1A kit begging to go on lol Hard to explain..
