^Well after speaking with Sharif @ Forged LLC he gave me most of the information about the parts that I need. I am not trying to ahve an all out monster but I am looking to have a 450-500hp daily driver. He advised me sleeving was not needed for what I want to do. Unless you intend on running 700+hp thats when sleeving the block should be strongly considered.

If you do plan on exceeding 650 RWHP and opt to sleeve the motor, you also should significantly increase the cooling capacity of your cooling system beyond what you would otherwise need for a non-sleeved motor.
Perhaps some of the engine builders who have built both sleeved and non-sleeved motors can chime in on this.

the only option thats gonna give you the power to go w/ the built motor is the powerlab ST
if not, go twins
