Wow, this seems like a great deal! Why are you deciding to sell after going the rebuild route? Seems at this price you might have been better just selling as a roller.
Selling because you are going to be soon married is a huge mistake! Keep it. It'll never be easier to persuade your future wife on the mental health benefits of a sports car than it is now - before you are married. Keep it at a sibling's or friend's house if you must, but don't let it go
Great car and even better job in putting together the sale info (docs and pics). Where is the car located and will it pass California emissions? Thanks.

thanks a lot! Car is at LA now. WA emission test was no problem at all, probably same for CA emission test?
Not sure how much horsepower it gets more than 3.8L, since I have not dynoed yet.
But horsepower is just a number. More importantly, it has significantly better mid-range torque.

The only way you can know if there is significantly better mid-range torque is to dyno it. The mind plays tricks, especially when you have spent hard-earned money. Jake Raby gets better torque in his rebuilds, but he dynos them and specifically knows what he did to make them that way including certain different, non-OEM parts. Don't assume that is true for all rebuilds regardless of displacement.
I don't think it matters exactly how much more torque and hp it makes. It's going to make more than a stock 3.8L and it's brand new with all the m97 problems addressed.
