Reliability is a big issue when it comes to the sleeved big bore builds. I think decent power can still be had with a 88mm bore but that would be my limit anyway. Amazingly Cory's build is still reliable even on E85 so it can be done. When Strat tears it down the issue that caused the failure will be taken care of and anyone who still wants to pursue the sleeved, high RPM big bore build will learn from his misfortune and everyone will be better for it. NA is risky business when the high hp stakes are raised but we can't be afraid to fail when we can succeed. Strat will succeed just like Cory and a few others have. He's that focused.
