The sleeved engines are more than adequate for Natural Aspiration. For forced induction we like the C5R block for more severe use.

A little over three years ago, I helped my friend arrange the "Z07" package on his 2000 C5 coupe. The cars doesn't have a lot of miles on it, but the miles it does have are pretty hard. It has been a great package for my friend. Jayson has been a great help anytime there have been issues with the car. In fact, Jayson helped me sort out some problems we had with the active handling system while at the Big Bend Open Road Race two weeks ago. The problems we were having had nothing to do with any work that MTI did, but he was more than willing to take time out of his busy day to help us. So from my perspective, MTI does great work and provides great service!
