You need to supply a good short block/crank.

Compression is your choice 9.5-1 thru 13.0-1

The way this is done the sleeves are thicker and stronger then open deck 4" sleeves.
One of these already have 10-15k miles on them with alot of drag time
alot of Chicago traffic and has run 10.40's @ 133 this car runs just fine.

So if you won't drive it as hard as the above car then i would not worry about reliability.

This is EXACTLY what's on my wish list. 575+ hp at the crank. 500+ hp at the wheels.

Hib, I don't drag race either. I just like the added "punch" and being different than a stock LT5.
