I see. Well the short block I'm looking at buying needs to be resleeved anyway so that's no problem. Does Mahle also make oversized H22A pistons?

You wouldn't need Mahle pistons if your re-sleeveing the block. Those are so you can use the frm sleeves. You could use any brand of pistons.

They do make overbore pistons but if you are going to resleeve with aftermarket sleeves, then you will be able to run pretty much any aftermarket piston instead of limiting yourself to frp friendly pistons.

Ah makes perfect sense. Sorry didn't know what I was thinking.

Also Im just curious, did you ever have your car dynoed on that same dyno before the stroker? I know some dynapacks (cough churchs cough) read quite high. I'm just curious what your gains are over the delta.

Awesome. Have you decided on the header that you are going to mate with your cams yet?

I'm leaning toward a Tracy Sports header. I wonder if Kraftwerks will produce something like this for an F20:

Hey Kial on the bottom end of the block was there any special brackets or anythign that you had to fab.... The only reason I ask is that GE said for them to resleeve and set up for the build then they need a few months to train there new engine builder on how it was done by the last one. And they said there was alot of fab work on the bottom end

There was nothing to fab but I didn't resleeve. I have never had a blocked sleeved but I don't there is any fab work required. You may want to find out exactly what they are going to fab.
