Darton Sleeved LS1
Who here has darton sleeved LS1's with over 400CI. I hear so much about FI cars and crate motors, but I was wondering what a big CI LS1 can do. Also what made you go this direction over the former two options. What kind of reliability and cost are you looking at with these. I just think this is seems like a good route for a 500RWHP+ street and track car. So I guess I'm just asking to show em off and tell me a little about what you've got.

Why on earth would you spend money on sleeving an LS1 block when LS2, LS3, L92, LS7, etc blocks are available at a far cheaper price with no downtime? 4 or 5 years ago when the iron LQ4 or LQ9 was the only game in town and you wanted to save 80 or 90 lbs sure, but nowadays it doesn't make any sense.
