Edit, just saw the dyno. Nice gain

Thanks, this one had limitations because the car will be a DE car for a female and since its a tip I couldn't do much with heads or cam... So it all stayed bone stock..

It drives incredibly smooth and is VERY responsive!

$14k for a custom race motor seems pretty cheap by P-car standards.....since all of the race "strokers" I'm looking at START at $25k...quite a bit more power though...since they tend to be 400-500+whp....but 6.5L helps with that

so the unknown rebuild motor is say $6k....so its only about twice as expensive for the NEW race motor....vs a used motor for me is around $4k.....so you see the dilemma
