You can only pick 2. If it’s fast and cheap, it won’t be reliable. If it’s cheap and reliable, it won’t be fast. And if it’s fast and reliable, it won’t be cheap. Do a lot of homework and keep asking questions!
Ps- I have no clue what his power numbers are. Sorry. lol
I'll check out your build thread too. My power goal is pretty modest. Due to a back injury I'm going to have to keep the auto transmission, my left foot doesn't work to good anymore so I'm not able to work a standard clutch.

Did we ever find out if he replaced the rods/pistons or sent it with the VVTi NA internals?

Pretty sure he just sent it with the NA internals.

Cars long gone though, he parted it out. I bought his entire black interior for my car.
