1. Someone in that thread said that GE is the best of both worlds, what are they refering to?

2. At what point should you go from open deck to closed deck on a b18c1 (amount of boost/power)?

 

1) GE = Golden Eagle

2) I've seen no solid evidence that going to a solid deck is ever absolutely necessary, but anyone will agree it's at a point well above the kind of power you'd make in a street car. Good sleeves will get you to 500hp with an open deck.

 

Benson blocks are open deck and I made over 600 whp with it and never had any problems.

 

Thanks...

Do you know whats the process that GE uses that it can claim to have the best of both worlds?

 

look at the picture in the link. THe sleeves have flared supports for stability, but the deck is still open.

 

ohh, ok...now i know what a deck is


so the GE sleeves look somewhat like the side view of a gear with little sanded teeth with gaps between them....right?
