New 6.1 HEMI 426 Stroker Kit in 2010
Sunday, 16 May 2010 20:54
ERL_4B11_2.5L_St_4be2e3709c0b8ERL Performance is proud to introduce our 6.1 HEMI 426 Stroker Kit. The Stroker kit creates a 7.0L monster from stock 6.1L Block and a 6.4L from the 5.7L Block. This increase in displacement gives big gains in torque and horsepower for both Naturally Aspirated and Forced Induction applications. The ERL HEMI Stroker kit comes with Wiseco pistons, K1 crankshaft fully balanced, K1 rods and ACL race bearings. This Kit uses 4.060” pistons to ensure the cylinder wall remains thick for high performance applications. We do not recommend 4.080” pistons that others use.

MARK KOEHLER TESTIMONIAL
Sunday, 09 May 2010 22:34
000_5368sTESTIMONIAL
At the end of 2009, Mike Brown, Steve Turley and I met at ERL performance to review the reliability of the current revision of the Superdeck 1 block and how it performed last season in Mike Brown and Steve Turley’s cars.    Although the blocks held up extremely well to the 2000+HP, ERL was poised and ready to continue the pursuit of an “indestructible” foundation for high horsepower turbo applications. We met with Jeff Liebert and Sean Ragains and it was immediately clear that ERL has every intention of being one of the leaders in the modified LS block world. After discussing several potential changes, some of which seemed less desirable to tackle, they got right to work.    The finished product exhibited superb engineering and attention to detail that is unmatched in the industry. I’m extremely happy to be a part of the ERL team and look forward to a successful 2010 season. See you guys at the track!

We are very excited to have Mark join the ERL Performance team for the 2010 season. As many of you know we have been working with Mike Brown and Steve Turley of the Ohio Boys, now for over 3 seasons and have been able to continue to improve and strengthen our Superdeck 1 sleeving. These guys are now up over 2000 hp on a stock LS2 using our patented Superdeck 1 sleeving with unbelievable success. The other Ohio Boy, Mark Koehler ran an LSX based block last year and did extremely well but really wanted to shave a lot of weight to help improve his 60 ft times. He had seen how well our ERL blocks were holding up with his other two band of brothers and decided to make the switch and go with ERL’s LS2 Superdeck 1 “6 bolt” race block.
As many of you know Mark takes great pride in his car and in my opinion is one of the nicest looking race cars out there. He is such a great competitor as well as Mike and Steve and we are very excited to have Mark on board for what will be, I’m sure, a very successful year for the Ohio Boys.

ERL 500 CI Turnkey
Tuesday, 06 October 2009 00:17
330919turnkey_002ERL Introduces the first ever 500CI LS2 Turnkey Engine. This engine starts with our proven 500CI short block that has numerous drag racing wins and combines it with street components to create a monster engine for road cars at a great price. The street package provides a full tuned 632HP engine with a very good idle at 1100 RPM. This package is very affordable due the use of L92 Ported Heads and stock LS7 intake manifold. The fantastic part of this engine is the incredibly flat torque curve with a peak of 621 FT-LBS. The Street/Strip version allows for the same great idle at 1100RPM but with significantly more power due to All Pro Heads that flow greater than 400 CFM and an ERL designed 102mm Intake Manifold and 102mm Electronic Throttle Body. This engine provides 700HP with 650FT-LBS of torque. This proves that the ERL 500CI Turnkey Naturally Aspirated engine can outperform even GM’s new supercharged LS9 engine. ERL Performance is offering a very impressive street engine for a very reasonable price. This engine fits C5 and C6 Corvettes as well as F-Body Camaros and Firebirds. ERL provides custom engine mounts to lower the engine in the C5 and C6 Corvettes.

129811IMG_2912The ERL Hemi 426 Short block is now available direct from ERL. This short block is known to be the finest on the market. We started out building all of Power Ported’s Hemi Short blocks.

ERL will continue to guarantee their short blocks with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.

Every short block comes with Wiseco pistons with GFX rings, K1 rods, and K1 crank. The street/strip package blocks are fitted with stock main studs. This is an economical package well suited to Applications below 500HP. All of the Street/Strip blocks are fitted with ARP main studs and align honed. This package is particularly good for forced induction applications or naturally aspirated applications exceeding 500HP. ARP head studs are available as an option on both packages.

Tuesday, 06 October 2009 00:11
926276LS_Girdle_001The new ERL Performance GM LS MAIN GIRDLE provides the necessary strength and rigidity for high horsepower LS series motors. The high strength Aluminum 6061 girdle is precision waterjet from sheet and CNC finish machined. Our girdle, forming a truss connecting all 5 journals and the sides of the block, will more than double the strength. This CNC girdle fits all LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 blocks with stock main caps and fits ERL blocks with Billet main caps. The girdle is provided with oil pan bolts. ARP main stud kit is required and is offered as an option.

*When installing new main studs, ERL recommends align honing the block.

With more and more schools cutting shop and auto classes due to liability, political gruff, and possible lack of interest, it is amazing that any skilled mechanics even make it out to the college level.

ERL at Hot Rod Power Tour
Thursday, 18 June 2009 17:12
Hot-rod_002_largeThe ERL 500 CI LS2 Superdeck II made its debut in our C5 Corvette at the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour. We installed the big ERL 8.2 liter LS2 500 CI Superdeck II in the C5 on Tuesday and got it off the Chassis Dyno Tuesday night after putting down 538 whp with 509 ft lbs of torque on 93 Octane. The engine is our basic all-motor street package which put down 632 hp with 620 ft lbs of torque on our Engine Dyno. This package gives you a reliable, “real” pump gas all-motor street car making almost 540 whp as we demonstrated at the Hot Rod Power Tour. And with nearly 1000 miles on this 8.2 liter beast, we never had one problem. It idles at 1100 rpm and redlines at 6500 rpm. The oil pressure stayed right between 42 -45 psi. On the interstate, the engine temp never got over 165 degrees. In town it never got over 198 degrees. We met so many great people who said so many positive things about this unique engine along the way and they reminded us why we are in this business.
