Default A question about Darton Sleeves

Hi Guys!
Newbie here. Basically I'm from the UK (everyone sighing yet? ) I need to resleeve my block (B18C4). I have been given 2 options of sleeves (Darton) MID or Flanged... I don't plan to run mega boost, probably just a conservative 14PSi MAX (hopefully about 400bhp+)


Price is a heck of difference! do I really need to go for the MID which is $1000! or just stick with flanged ($700)

Thanks in advance!


Andrew

$300 is not that much money to have a better sleeve.

Call Earl, and put some Bensons sleeves on you block.
For me they are the best ones you can get.

He will make you a good price.

He and Dad Bensons made my entire block for a good price.
and don´t forget i´m living in Germany.
