When dealing with any engine builder you have to find out how they take of care of the customer when problems come up...that's the most important factor in deciding who to go with. I can tell you MTI has a very good rep for taking care of the customer.

Lastly, IMO whoever you go with I would stay away from sleeved engines. To me this is a weak link. Dry sleeves can drop and wet sleeves can leak. If you are on a budget go with the iron block and with the $$$ you save buy tubular k-member/A-Arm to make up the weight difference. Also, the iron block is a bullet proof platform.

If you can, go with C5-R the price is high but it's a lightweight bullet proof platform to build off of. This is the way I ended up going, in fact, it's completed and will be shipped soon for install.

Jason...
I have a request. You offer a Z07 badge for the vettes that's cool. Please, please make a badge for the Camaro. Take the 427 Iron Block Giveaway graphic on your website...the one with the flags and make a badge that looks just like that graphic except replace words "Iron Block Giveaway" with "MTI C5-R Super Sport" That would be nice!!!

Good shopping...
