They have a turbo Civic 12:5:1 compression ratio, boosted to some crazy numbers.....making 1200 HP.
Here's a link to a few of their videos from their races.....

There are hundreds of guys running Laskey built engines and short blocks. The way Benson does the sleeves is unique. I went with Laskey several years ago and never think about the engine. A very reliable work horse to 9500 rpm constantly.

Just to be clear, wasn't posting the pic to start a debate on which block build was better....simply to show differences in design options available.

Since batbite posted the GE blocks I'll post my block From InlinePRO. Hopefully I will be starting the car for the first time in about 3 weeks from sitting for a year and a half.

I´m looking for a solid bottom but can´t decide on sleeve design. Yeah, also thought about stock block and Mahle pistons but feels better to bore new and straight cylinders IMO.
The closed deck (IP) looks a lot stronger but bet the open deck (LR) have better cooling? Drag vs Track? Opinions?
What do you guys have and also, any problems?

Unless your block is very beat up going with 0.25 over size mahle pistons will result in a very clean and straight bore.
You cant go wrong really with any aftermarket sleeves, the key is that they are installed properly and the machine work is done right.
as far as strength goes imho they are all going to be more than strong enough for whatever power you are going to make (stock, aebs, darton, ge, etc)

Most used blocks I´ve seen have some sort of damage to that coating, thought it would feel better to start the build with new and fresh cylinders (sleeves).
Really nice to get all this info before the start!
