I feel like I stole my engine build. That's how reasonable the price was for me. So I know what you mean.

These guys are just talking about a simple R&R, not even doing anything like straightening out the factory bores, squaring the decks, coating the crank bearing surfaces, using oversized valves, porting and polishing the heads, relieving windage in the crankcase halves, machining anti shuffle guides into the case halves...

Have at it boys. I definitely know who runs the most reasonable shop in that town!

Yes sir. This a total build not a kit.
I am not at liberty to talk about specific internal work done. Actually Champion Motorsport did not want to post much if anything but I wanted to share with members some of the work.
They prefer to remain under the radar but the work gets done.
Louis you da man brother.

Most of that work necessary for a high HP build and about the heads, if you look at a turbo or GT2 head compared to a GT3, it's a joke.
GT3 heads very little to be improved, in compared to turbo/gt2.

Should keep up with cars and coffee, you can win there.
Save the $ and spend at the Mexican place in Sebring, at least is fun

TS for the win.
I'm guessing you would suggest I could pick up at least 2 seconds if I used the orbit wing though, right?

You can actually have fun doing DE's without going sub 220 at sebring.

No I'm suggesting no matter what you do (minor mods) won't make you faster, unless you make yourself faster.
To each to it's own.

Engine sounds very healthy!

I hope he has a 4.0 clutch as well, he doesn't heel/toe... I cringed at every downshift.

Exactly, but than again he will need the 4.0 clutch and PP anyway, so he will just get these sooner :-)
The video would be much better with some proper blipping
