Default RE: short block

i haven't even done any bolt ons... i figure i'm gonna save up and put one big awesome part on it and then rebuild the rear end with a bigger gear and that support plate for the diff. and call it a day... maybe add some DRs

but i love my car completely it's just weak... lol

it will be a sleeper too being a SN95


would VT engines probably be the best deal for a forged short block? who has good heads, or a good head/cam setup?


and would 10-12 psi get me approx 450 rwhp?

would it be cheaper to buy the short block, heads/cams, timing chain, and put it together myself than to buy it all ready to go?

these are the guys who work on mine........www.precision-autosports.com......he has told me for sure and along with many articles i have read that a forged block with stg 2 heads and cams is NOT a problem to see 350 rwhp then with a blower theres no doubt youll see 450 hp as long as your compression is not too high.http://www.precision-autosports.com

Modular Power House has stopped making their shortblocks due to warrety issues, go to their forum and they have a thread about where you can get good shortblocks.

sweet, thanks guys


would it be cheaper to buy a short block, heads and intake and put it together myself as opposed to buying a long block?

its hard to say those websites sell long blocks too youll just have to compare id rather piece it together that way you gain experience and knowledge.
