Im looking to possibly sleeve my block but I don't have 1200 dollars to buy M.I.D sleeves to get installed because I still need pistons, rods, rings and to get the block machined. I see the open deck sleeves but I only see them for Nissan. Im looking for some sleeves that are a little cheaper in price but will also keep me well insured because Im only looking to push about 15lbs on a GT35r on an LS block for a DD nothing real serious, looking at 400+ for a daily driver. Not gonna race it too much so I don't need 600 dollar sleeves. Any ideas ppl cuz i've looked all over. Ebay, a few performance sites but nothing the help would be GREATLY appreciated thanks

no need for sleeves if your range is 400hp.

So I can make 400+ on a RELIABLE tune with stock sleeves?

My car has 26,000 miles on it with power levels ranging for 4-500whp between 18 and 30lbs of boost and 9k rpm on stock sleeves. Opened it up this past winter just to check things out and it looks great still.

Cool....Well I just want this block to last me long enough for me to be able to build a completely built sleeved block so I can really make some power. It's just now I want the car done by the time I get my license back in May and want the car on the road. I was really worried about detonating but I have a good tuner so idk...Im just kinda lost here lol

Agreed. With a good tune you can make good reliable power. I woldnt go much over 400 though, you're just asking for trouble.
