The stock replacement didn't hold up much better, but it bought me time to finish planning for this project.

Can I fit 17×9" and 17×11" R14s on my 2017 SS ?

We are well past the point where I can get away with 20" wheels and have any hope of getting traction. With some of the planned upgrades this winter, it's time to switch to a smaller diameter wheel....

Yeah, I think you're hogging all the stock block luck from the bucket. It feels like it's been years since you built that thing up.

Have you had a block fail?

I'm interested in hearing about block casting failures.
What did you have done and what ultimately led to failure?

Overheating? Bearing walk? Physical component failure?

That is precisely why I am looking at it.
I think I can squeeze a little more out of the LT4 setup with a 12rib, but I won't get to really push the limits of the 2650 without supplemental fuel.

700 is stretching the limits of the LT4 injectors and HPFP

It's been done quite a bit by various members.
The shop that installed my 2650 did mine green to match my car. I don't see why the 2300 would be any harder.
Still looks great 2 1/2 years later....
