Thanks man, I just googled them.
They are advertising their 408s at levels "over 575HP NA". So I find it hard to believe someone had one built only running 380HP to the tire. Maybe they were running a factory cam, and heads as well.
They've got some pretty cool stuff on the site as well. Denali, could you share your price with me, PM maybe?
I'm going with a built 408 as well. Probably going to end up with the high flow turbo kit on there.
Maybe we can get a package boost ready 408 deal for us New Hampshire boys.

it drives me nuts when you try to see the prices and all you get is "call for best pricing" They look legit though.Only thing that bothers me is in every package they say itll make 500+hp.Hey maybe its true though,who knows,only way is to find out.

Borowski's has been in business for a LONNNNG time. Ted (who's since passed away) use to race Pro stocks way back when, and was REALLY good at building SBC/BBC's. This was before the LSx motors. Since then, another man bought Ted's shop and is branching out to get into the LSx market. I was going to have Bob (the new owner) build me a forged 346 motor (wife found other uses for the money 
, so I didn't pursue it anymore). As far as the 380 rwhp motor, it may or may not be the engine builders fault, because as you know, there are three sides to every story...........the builders side, the buyers side, and the truth! I'm not going to speculate, unless it was my motor. The numbers that they advertise are probably bhp, because they have an engine dyno on site, that they use to dyno/break-in your motor (if you want them too). I'd have them do a motor for me, if I had the extra dough lying around. Just my .02, and you usually get what you pay for!

so the power output of that certain motor being low i would HIGHLY doubt has anything to do w/ burowski.

They sent me a price for a shortblock. It was MUCH higher than any other 402/408 shortblock quote I've gotten so far. Not even close. I'm leaning toward SDPC 402 with either Texas Speed or WCCH heads as of right now.
