the best new shortblock??


what is a good brand / company to order a shortblock with forged internal?

I am leaning more to DSS racing because their block is rated up to 950hp.
I am not sure what company to go with. I want something that is going to be rated to hold alot of HP because i plan to run a TT set up with alot of boost.

from what i hear, VT makes very good engines. be warned, however, if you need it quick, VT is probably not the way to go. I ordered a forged rotating assembly from them on Sept. 24 and it still hasn't shipped.

I have orderd my shortblock from D.S.S. and it shipped 3 business days later...it is supposed to arrive on monday, they have been very helpful and have answers to any question you ask. If you are lucky they might have what your looking for in stock...they had 2 of the exact setup I was looking for in stock. just call and ask them. 630 587 1169 then press 1 .
