a 81.5 bore wont take you there, but that guy is also leading you astray. you do NOT need a 2.0 bore to make 200whp. i know of cars doing that with stock bores locally. Higher compression would help with also the use of quality parts such as cams, headers,exhaust,etc and most essentially your tune.

Wat would u recommend?

- Sat Nov 19, 2011 3:54 am #282019 stock sleeves can handle 500+whp with a good motor/tune.. you'll be fine without "sleeving" the block for a NA build

if your gonna do it up with the pistons/rods your talking about.. I'd say go 82mm which is i think 0.040 over, which would only make it easier to reach your power goal. tuner might just be trying to get you there on a more conservative/reliable tune..

Oh ok. I will start calling machine shops n see how much they charge 2 bore out my bottom end.
