3800 new product for our cars

[LP 3800]

I found a company that makes high performance sleeving kits. This would allow us to bore out the engine to ABOUT .040 and give us a solid forged cylinder wall. The cost would probably be as high as $550. Forged pistons and a forged wall would be nice for the NOS lovers Like me in the near future
Do you think it would be something to look into, or not worth the time?

Dry sleeve or wet sleeve? Are they locking? (forget what they're called but ARE and I think Lingenfelter use some locking sleeves... they form an entire new deck surface)

Has anyone done it before? I know w/the LS1s when they first started resleeving them there were tons of problems w/the sleeves dropping... seems to be pretty well fixed now... but I wouldn't wanna be a guinnee pig for something like this...

I believe they are locking. They are a whole new deck. All three in each row are connected together for extra strength, I was told. that way they cannot move or slip under extremes.
Looks real cool. I found a lightning who did this and is now doing tens with 34LBS of boost. That must be nice

34 lbs of boost? Holy shit!
This is sounding like a good idea if all works well.
I know dick about stuff like that but 34 lbs of boost is alot.

when you say "a set", does that include the pistons?

Defiantly not by set he is only talking about the front bank and the rear bank.
