02 STi block is semi-closed deck so it's significantly stronger than your standard block. The forged pistons are another bonus, too. 11's are definately achievable with sensible tuning, good fuelling, good breathing and a well sized turbo.

I think the short motor is around $3500 from Regents? Not 100% sure on that as I haven't had the pleasure of needing one!

Good luck.
