Sure a stock block would have been better than the build he got but that's the fault of the builder, nothing else.

And I commend this forum for the mechanics
public fall from grace, its a testament to the honesty of this forum.
But in all honesty a short block chiseled from diamonds won't hold up to 18 psi when you have a bad tune. That's the problem with mail order short blocks.
My point is a guy like FRS30 would be best of starting by bolting on an Avo (or equivalent), flashing Avo's tune, doing it in their garage with the help of someone who knows how to work on cars.
Maybe in a few years if these cars remain popular there will be a 400+hp "recipe" but I don't think we are there yet.
And I guess I wish I had spoken up in his build thread sooner, all of us share a bit of responsibility in not saying: calm down buddy, start simple get to know the experts within driving distance, join a club, etc.
