Car is home....
Hi guys,
As promised a few pics after the complete engine rebuild $$$ (see other thread).
The car is as new with 2 year warranty on all the work they have done.
They did a dyno test and the engine produces 338 rwhp.
Thanks for looking

Congrats on the "new" car. Your engine no longer looks like mine. Is that a supercharger in there?

Is 338 rwhp really possible with such minor work on a 3.8L? I didn't think so. EDIT- oh I see different pistons. Higher compression ratio?

Apparently not, they did an engine break in in the shop ( +/- 500 km). They also do this with their race cars?
