Hopefully will have dyno numbers soon, but so far seems to be running well.
That build spec is making me drool. Enjoy

I'm scheduled to have the finished project back in 7 days...

Light at the end of the tunnel!

Seems my post didn't take...

Picked it up last night. It's still in break-in, but I can tell I've got much more torque. Once it's broken in, I should have dyno numbers. For any considering this route, know it's NOT cheap nor easy. I couldn't have done it myself, and it cost more that I thought... once you get into things on a 14 year old car, you'll find other stuff that needs to be taken care of beyond just your engine.

Glad to finally have it back.

maybe the most important question - does the rebuilt engine sound better or same? Congrats on the new start & gl.

That thing looked pissed on the dyno from your vid! Hard part's done and now it's time for miles of smiles. Congrats on getting her back in the canyons.
