We can do long blocks if you want. However, I wouldn't use our 443 CI package in a boosted application because our 443 CI is at a 4.200 bore size and that is fine for N/A or nitrous but too thin for boost. Our 427 CI would be better for the 1200 + rwhp that you are looking for. Our ERL Superdeck I 6 bolt block would be great for that kind of set up.

The nice thing about what we do at ERL Performance is that we don't use an aftermarket block. On our ERL Superdeck I 6 bolt system, we can use your LS1, LS6, LS2, LS3, LS7 and even the LS9 blocks for this. We have alot of LS2 blocks and LS6 blocks in stock and we try and keep sleeved blocks in stock on the shelf that way when you call and place an order our turn around time is very quick because we already have the machining done and all we have to do is cylinder hone the block to your piston specs. With you sending us your block in as a core exchange your cost would be 3000.00 for our ERL Superdeck I 6 bolt. This includes the sleeving, machining, block is decked, hot tanked, stress relieved, finish cylinder hone, align honed, align bored and doweled billet main caps as well. These 6 bolts are currently being ran by The Ohio Boys and pushing 1800 hp with no issues. We do have options that you can look at on our website like lifter bushings and so on. Please check it out and let me know how we can help. We have this stuff in stock and a quick turn around if needed. Thanks!

One of the other things that makes this block so much stroger than others is the truss design that you can't see from the picture above because it's hidden. Below is the picture of one of our ERL Superdeck I blocks in process before we install the sleeves.
It can be done no problem. Look at the ls9.
I would get new main caps, arp studs, new head studs for sure, rods and bearings. You will probably want to think about the intake too. I dont know how much that intake will want to handle that load. It will thermal fail for sure overtime. I would look into a sheetmetal intake also.
You shouldn't need to worry about the block it will be fine with sleeves at that boost. I have a buddy pushing 2500+ in a 6 second car with an lsx block. Pick up an lsx block from gmpp. It doubles the head bolts per cylinder which is the weakest part of the engine. The heads like to blow off under to much power and to weak of studs. The LS9 is rated within a few percent of its limit. Any decent power adder will most likely blow its heads off.

He's right the 6 bolt pattern is much better for what you're trying to do and with the ERL Superdeck I 6 bolt block you're going to save 100 lbs in weight over the LSX block and all that added weight will be right over the nose of the car. Ours is just as strong and 100 lbs lighter.

I was on there web site yesterday, The prices seem reasonable to me, for what they do. I watched the videos to, I think they just might have one of the best blocks out there. I have a STAGE 2 APS kit, I really like there

This is exactly why I'm with you guys. The last thing I need is more weight in the front of this Pig. Hell I'm saving a ton of weight with a 6 bolt option to boot. Thanks for all the help.
