Re: Anyone running a ARE 442 big bore? Hey guys, ARE does build 442's. We actually have a 449 in the works right now for customer down south.
The Gold TA is at ARE right now and the motor is apart. The nitrous-fuel pump quit at Grand Bend, 1/2 track and it melted the head. The ROSS pistons and everything else is OK.
We also just took apart our Silver Z's motor apart yesterday (first time since it went together) and it looks mint! I think we have nailed the Big HP LS1's! The bearings still have the coating on them, no scuffs in the walls, sleeves still perfectly round...

I was wondering why an ARE stroker would let go at 200 shot........

Replaced an ARE H/C package that fell victim to a 918 spring failure (which is another story). Night and day difference: torque certainly makes driving fun.
Absolutely no mechanical problems with the engine. Only issue was tuning, which took some time (LS1 Edit)

Re: Anyone running a ARE 442 big bore? Like Jason said earlier I have an ARE 442 with a C5R block. If you have any questions e-mail me. Its pretty sick....I don't have hardly any miles and I'm about to replace a set of 335's on the rear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
