Did they re-sleeve?
No re sleeve. Honed the cylinders. I got lucky and didn’t hurt them.

Very cool! Thanks for follow up!

I am really now interested in this option. I need to chat with LME.

Most builders I have talked to in the past do not want to rate a forged LS3 much past 1000-1050 rwhp without re-sleeving. My goal is around 1050-1100 rwhp absolute max, so if I could get away with a forged LS3 I'm going that route!!

1500-2000whp and 4 bolt aluminum block dont usually go in the same sentence together. Nice build though.

I’ll plan to push 1100 rwhp on this build with twin 62/62’s once I get a boost controller and turn it up. I did call and verify 1200 to the wheels is max on the block. It’s the cylinder walls that are going to deform.

Awesome!

I did say I would call to verify. They said 1100-1200 max due to cylinder wall deformation.
