[QUOTE="sn8k, post: 3321868, member: 4456"] That's exactly what I was hoping to hear... VT seems like the way to go for me. I'm actually seriously considering their longblock options - mainly because it would be more of a complete package and since the shop I am going to take the car to does't do head work and has to contract that out - it just seems the logical way to go (head work matched to the shortblock capabilities). I'm just trying to come to grips with what I can live with as far as the upper horsepower limits are concurned. The VT Cobra Sportsman block is good to 700HP - which may be a bit limiting. I don't know if that's RWHP or crank HP. If it's crank HP - then that block tops out at about 595RWHP. As I said in the first post, I'm looking at 550RWHP... but as I gain experience with the car I would like the option to bump that up. I am 90% sure at this point I will be going VT - I've only heard great things about their engines - and it beats having to deal with the canadian rapist LOL Thanks for the advise everyone :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
