If you think about it its really allmost the best bang for the buck. Figure buying a block then shipping it to get sleeved, its almost the same price. Thats what I've seen, I've also heard great things about them I just dont see or hear of a lot of people using them, thats why I was curious.

same here. And you make a good point "best bang for the buck" but at the same time instead of buying another block having it shipped then sending it to a shop to get sleeved & shit you just get exactly what you want with less of a wait. If you get the dart block let us know how it goes.

Mopar muscle guys have been using Dart for years and they were/are pretty much the go-to guys for quality race performance blocks. If they put as much tech and care into their Honda blocks (which id almost guarantee that they do)then id definetly recommend looking into them if you plan on serious power. If not its not totally necessary.
