Thanks Shawn. I only compliment someones work when its deserved. You guys really impress me. Very much like shop I use for big stuff. Also Brian speaks very highly of you.

I feel everyone loves the updates too. Its like we are directly involved. Seeing the engine freshly pulled from the car. Teardown, sleeves installed, all the machining equipment, the list goes on. Thanks for a very informative thread.

A little bird told me that a little more R&D is going on. Hopefully it will all be done and proven by this weekend. I've got the vette posse ready to roll on Saturday.

I've heard of issues with wet sleeves. These are dry and I haven't heard any problems if installed correctly. Va Speed uses a CNC machine that is accurate to .0001" and Shawn is very very good.

With wet sleeves the block is bored all the way to expose the water jackets. This is common when taking ls1/ls6 blocks big. Dry sleeves do not extend into the water jackets.

Hey what I want to know is this..... and dont get me wrong this is a good build.. but why doesnt every other sponsor have a pimp who keeps bumping threads for the sake of bumping threads?

G-force made over 600 with a 427 but we dont see that thread every 2 seconds getting a bump ?

Vengeance has allng_c5 ( who is the biggest retard of them all) and wkcmd is the second coming of him but why doesnt all the other shops do the same?

yea I know this isnt a popular thing to ask but WTF guys, can we see something besides self infatuation.
