Default Superdeck on LS Motor?

Hi guys, I saw a build that mounts a component that I had never seen before, they call it superdeck, at first glance it looks like a thickness on the cylinder block to which longer and more resistant Darton sleeves are combined, it seems that in an ls7 it can increase the displacement up to 500cui.
Have any of you ever tried them or seen them run? Are they okay or do they affect reliability? If are good, i'm thinking for a superdeck on my ls2 . Thank you so much in advance guys

The company that use to do that is no longer in business they were called ERL Performance. If you want a tall deck you need to call Dart or Concept performance or RHS. The blocks are 1/2 inch taller than an LS and can go like 495 cubes. Or you can call HPR Engines and they have a way to do 527 cubic inches but it is expensive.

thank you, but as far as you know, do they work well or do the motors give some reliability problems?

I mean for daily use, if they create reliability problems, I don't co-operate on the track, I drive the car every day and at the weekend I have fun with friends without pretensions

Not really enough data on those particular block so can not tell you. It was sort of an one off concept and not sure how many they did of these. That along with the introduction of the tall deck after market blocks that particular program (Superdeck) is no longer needed.
