I'm going to have a setup for about 400 horse at max boost in my LS.

whats the best way to go?

 

either way is fine...

GE is cheap and proven relaiable...
Darton is great, also proven to be relaible but not too cheap though and you need to find a good machine shop to press it
Dart is good, but overkill for street setup IMO not too mention very expensive

I have GE

if you are only looking for 400 then stay with the stock sleeves (.20 over) and with the cash you save get some good tuning. Good luck

 

RS MACHINE: many top racers are going with RS MACHINE to do their race blocks.

 

stock

 

I've debated this for a long time.

I NEED reliabilty that they offer.

 

im in the same boat as you, and i voted out stock due to reliablity and life expectancy of my block. I'll be hopping on the GE boat sometiem this winter. aiming for 450whp

 

If money is an issue, you could consder having the block posted with aluminum posts..

 

GE is what i use. Can't say anything negative about anything else since i've never ran them.

 

i use golden eagle and would not consider anything else.their quality is second to none.

 

how much does GE cost?

 

have you considered AEBS ? Ive heard good things about them...

 

My blocks currently at RS Machine...It took them 3 DAYS!!! to finish my block. I will let you guys know how everything goes when the block returns..

 

Golden Eagle !!

 

mine cost 960 with o-rings

 

I made 460 with stock sleeves then I cracked #3 ( overboost on pump gas ) If I had access to another stock sleeved B18C block I wouldn't have resleeved. I now have some GE sleeves but I have a spare block I am building and I am NOT sending it to Golden Eagle. Sorry Vince

 

YUp RS MACHINE

All our blocks are machined at RS and turn around time with our sleeved complete blocks are about 2 weeks.
RS is great.... thats why many top racers are going with RS

 

Darton sleeves. I run them and I can gaurantee that the quality of service is second to none. CNC machine operated procedure all the way.
Be on a lookout for a groupbuy i will be setting up next month.

 

I have GE. I recommend GE. WooHoo!

 

Another vote for RS machine
3 days for me too.

Hope they don't get to famous like another sleeving company.
I'd hate to see there sleeves start sinking, and there turn around increase to a month plus.

 

where can I find out about RS machine and how much do they run? B18B?
Do they do inline bore, etc....?
looking to have mine sent w/in a few weeks...sorry for the post whoring...got your bump!

 

I have darton sleeves and really like them. My vote was for darton

 

I voted Darton sleeves, since my Golden Eagle sleeves sunk and my experience with them have been terrible/no compensation no callbacks, I went ahead and purchased some Dartons for a spare block I have and having a local machine do them. I now have a nice paper weight/door stopper.

 

rs?

 

... i may be wrong... but i thought bensons were just dartons re-brand...
