I don't get it. Two places (Tbyrne & Scoggin Dickey) are having GPs on 402 iron block strokers right now (roughly 10% off) and I have posted, pm'd & emailed KJ @ SD & Tom @ Tbyrne with technical questions about my application & neither one has answered me. All I want is some stinkin info so I can decide which one to send a check to. Is that so bad? I thought they wanted my money.....

I don't really know if your money is bad or not, maybe you should let me try some of it out as kind of a test ?
I have noticed that at times sponsors can be a little bit indifferant, but you would think they could muster up a little attention over a possible shortblock purchase
Maybe a separate post in the GP section that's a little more blunt might be the ticket ?

I was wondering if you would offer to come to my aid on this.
Yeah, you would think someone wanting to buy one of their shortblocks would get their attention. If I had time during the day I would call them, but it's been rather busy of late. Maybe I do need to make a post...
Funny thing is I think I've answered most of the questions myself by digging around tonight. I still haven't figured out if Diamond Pistons are worth $300 more than Ross Pistons. Might be worth that much to NOT buy another SLP product....

Might also try Combination Motorsports... they have a nice 408 package that I'm sure they'd like to sell you.
There's also lots of other builders out there who will give you the right kind of attention when buying a complete shortblock like that...

Ha ha, funny woman. Don't you have some laundry to do?
I finally talked to Kris @ SDPC. He said he has a motor sitting on the shelf ready to go. And he said with 71cc chambers (std on 6L heads) I'd end up with around 9.6:1 cr. At ~ 8 psi, this seems like a pretty good number. He could however order me some -18 cc dish pistons for an extra $100 that would take 2 weeks to get there & then I'd be around 9.3:1.
So motor heads, got any opinions? Both are Diamond pistons with file cut rings setup for 12 psi or 150 shot.

The short block will come assembled. My friends here & I will be doing the finally assembly & install. Not 100% sure where it will happen yet. I'm sure there will be posts & many people will come looky-loo / help.

Best thing to do when a sponsor has a GP is to call them directly. Most of the larger sponsors and especially the smaller ones only have one person that handles emails. Sometimes that is the owner/engine builder and tech line guy all in one. So they get swamped really easy. And most of the GP just arent for this board. They laso hit ls1.com, and a number of the vette boards.
