I am planning on sending an engine to a reputable engine builder for the purpose of creating a bullet proof supercharged engine. What are your thoughts on the stroked engine..would it be of any benefit to searche out titanium valves and sodium filled exhaust stems on the exhaust side like I have seen Phil Threshie suggest(different builder though).
Any of your thoughts would be helpful...thanks.

Yeah man, my daughter went to south. Lawrence is riding the wave since the Orange Bowl....finally we have a pretty darn good lucky football team..
What do you think of the titanium...i am hooked on participating in more Open Road RAces and will be making the GTS a little stronger.
Thanks

I don't think Phil Thresie is in business anymore....... Greg Brown makes LOTS of strokers.....couldn't hurt to give him a call.....great idea for a project...but WOW is it gonna be pricey!

Yeah, Greg is the one I am talking to the last 3 weeks...He sounds like a great guy.. I think I will send an engine to him instead of my car as the 928 is hard to give up for a while.

thanks brendan,
I will ask greg his thoughts on the crank. How is your project coming along, could you tell what you are planning for your build up...you seem to be building a super car but I have read only bits and pieces...what are your plans for your engine and suspension.

I have cut down on the second car's parts, as the plans change so much there is no reason to tie the money up. The engine is stock with coatings, drillings, and ARP/Mike Simard hardware, but otherwise stock. Suspension is S4 with Koni-hypercoil. This is going to be the "What I knew so far" and if I do a second car it will be "What I learned after I bought this stuff"

Oh, and just mention the CRANK to greg. Don't mention me. He may confuse the two, and the answers will get negative. And loud.
