For those of you that were at the Hooters meet in Altoona. The boy with the ls turbo eg hb had a piston go boom problem. We are now about 75% done with his new motor build. We should have it in and running by this weekend. All we have left to do is put the head on and put the motor back in the car.
Srp pistons
Eagle H beam rods
Str block gaurd
Arp rod bolts
Sparks racing manifold
t3/t4 turbo
He is trying to hit 350-400hp on the hi tune

Sounds like an awesome setup, though I cringe at the thought of using a block guard.

honestly if you are rebuilding why don't you sleeve it?

I ran a block gaurd for 2 years and ran awesome

I agree with that. I'm making due with what I have right now, but as soon as my new motor is built this block is coming out blown or not. And since I am doing internals...it WILL be sleeved.
