So here's boring the block for new pistons??? Yeah, you want to do that.

What's going to be forged, the pistons? Yeah, that's good too.

Does your engine builder know what the h.p. gains of all that he's going to do will be? The average parasitic h.p. loss through the drivetrain is around 15%. If you're looking for 500 h.p. at the wheels, you need to aim for at least 588 h.p. at the flywheel (500รท.85=588.24). That's going to be a heavy build.
