Thanks for the info. 30hp/40tq averaged is an impressive number. In a slim C2 coupe that would scoot.

The main thing with the Stage I is creating an engine that does everything well, and doesn't lose anything in regard to manners, fuel economy, or etc.

Jake,

What changes with your engine builds for someone that wants street and track or your R engines. Not from a power standpoint, but from the standpoint of addressing the cooling/starvation issues with the street engine. What additional items/components do you add to the standard engine?

The more I read your comments, the more I think I need to get in line with you.

All R- Series engines come fully outfitted with a full compliment of modifications to address any deficiency. The R- Series is loosely based from the Stage II which is designed to be a dual purpose street/ track engine.
The R- Series schedule is booked through mid- 2023 at this point, and I'm not taking any further orders for them, since I build these R- Series personally.

Thanks.. Only 1 "exclusive" completion date remains for a 2022 completion for a Stage I/ Stage II engine at this point. We have two "premier" completion dates remaining... Otherwise we are booked solid. Once I sell these slots I'm turning off the phone and shutting down sales for at least 6 months so we can focus on the 2023 program, which will see huge changes. I love turning the phone off.

Thanks Jake.

Assuming I replace my current 2 radiators with the CSF radiators plus add the 3rd center radiator, and in addition, put on LN's prototype Oil cooler, would they still be usable with your street/track/R rebuilds, or are they wasted money?

The radiators are options here, so no big deal with doing them now.I have my own oil cooling system that's an option, so don't do anything there.

Anyone in the NJ/PA area who wants to experience what a Stage II build drives/feels like I'd be happy to take you on a test drive in my 997.2 4s back to back with a test drive in my 996.2 4s stock. You will immediately understand why they are named Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (Proof of vaccination required!)

May have to take you up on that at some point. Although a 7.2 S is already quite a potent car.

This has been a pretty cool read. I was browsing the site and feel free if this needs to go over PM Jake.

I don't want to waste anyone's time, but as more of a "good to know, just in case it happens" of a ballpark $ figure on a stocker upgrade.
