btw folks , owner of car and myself have decided on going a much different direction on car . we had the misfortune of one pistons rings not sealing correctly and lost almost all compression in one cyl so we decided to rebuild and go after another goal as opposed to raw horsepower

rebuild setup includes new cp 10.0 compression fully forged pistons with new very expensive high tensile strength high heat resistent custom induction performance rings with upgraded thick walled wrist pins , we ditched the bc 272 cams in favor for gscs1 269 high lift cams and also ditched the 6765 turbo in favor of the new 6466 dbb turbo

this setup according to our tuner will yield a wild street setup . figure on e85 blend full boost by 3500-3700 rpm with a redline of 8500 rpm .. figure easy 700 rwhp and trq between 600 -650 ft lbs (hopefully) and tuning boost by gear

stay tuned as motor is almost finished and head again rebuilt to correct last head guys mistakes where we had severe leakage in cyl 5 and some in cyl 2 , seats were not cut straight .. car should be back on the road hopefully by end of month to be broken in then tuned in september . once tuned and alpha gives his seal of approval , will be looking on doing some runs with some of the higher hp guys to test out a theory of mine , if they are not scared ,lol
