I was having issues with my unicorn blood injection system. I ran the pressure a little too high trying to get moar powa!!!! busted my lines to both the right bank and left bank of injectors right behind the fuel regulators

That's what I thought.

Anyways dude, looking forward to seeing the rest of your build. 1000whp out of one of these motors will be pretty sick.

With this much of a tear down is it be recording how well the engine is built from factory? I figure the only way to truly know is to test it, but I am sure by looking at it stripped down we can determine the weak points and strong points.

Awesome - great progress

Actually I believe the guys over at GTM are wrapping up the install and we should be on to tuning in NO time!

and then I get my car back!!!!!

Kastley85891 · 07-14-2010, 09:57 AM

Holy crap man, that is sick, they work fast.

Id love to do a stroker on mine, I really want a TT but was thinking on a stroker first just for the hell of it, dependant on cost factor.

GTM get my vote

It helps that a majority of everything was in stock ready to go before I shipped them the car. The only issue we had was waiting on the new piston head design from Arias... I think that took a good 2 weeks to get. Again I cant say enough about how hard GTM is working not only to complete my build but to also complete all the other builds they have in the shop! these guys are miracle workers!!!

Wow Mike, I didn't know it was already that far along! You must be giddy like a schoolgirl!!!
