Which should i do ?
Do a 385 like I suggested. Order the crank from callies, rods, and pistons from diamond. Have a shop like baker engineering do the machine work and assembly. Or talk to Tj @ Baker Engineering to put an engine package together for you.

I bought mine direct from callies..............then sent it to AES to do the build.

Ebay is a good place to check....people sometimes sell brand new Callies cranks less than Callies will sell it.

You want to use an S480 you said?????......you could go very cheap and use a stock crank....forged rods and pistons. Build a 370ci iron engine. Good till 1,000 RWHP with the factory crank.

You don't want too much cubes unless you plan to go with the larger T6 single turbos....

I wouldn't sweat a 4.030 bore size for a second. There are tons of guys running them.

3.825" is a good all rounder, failing that just stick with stock stroke.

T6....get a 390ci. Make 1,200 RWHP without breaking a sweat. Maybe a 402ci......

Whats your RWHP goals....if its under 1,000 you can do the 370ci and save money bu using a stock crank. You'll make 800-900 with cheap *** LS1 243 heads and LS6 intake with a stock TB.......LOL


I'm thinking of getting the Huron Speed T4 Single Turbo A/C kit..........PT88 mid frame with 4" DP bumper exit pipe. 800-850 RWHP is what I'm after. Ive been told by turbo gurus the PT88 will get me there easily....with my 390ci.

They might offer some sort of warranty against defective materials or something.

But in general no performance parts carry a warranty, simply because there are so many variables.

What is your understanding of what this warranty entails? No matter what you do to the engine, if it breaks, they will replace it for free within the first year?
