Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

I just came back from a short test drive and the car easily hit 14.5 psi in 5th gear around 5200rpm's. Based on that I believe the car would have hit 600whp but I'm not looking for a dyno queen. The...

The eagle has landed, my car is home. Bobby made it in around 8:00 a.m. and I had breakfast and coffee ready. The car drives great and very smooth. That other youtube video should be up sometime...

Just wanted to thank everyone again who helped in this ordeal especially Charles at cjm motorsports. You won't find another knowledgeable guy on the vq than him in my opinion. Also bobby at vsr has...

The peak torque was 471. The 435 torque was at the end of the power band around 6600rpm's...

Low boost map is finished. Made 9psi 500whp, those custom pistons were worth the money.. Sorry I originally typed 10psi but it was 500whp @ 9psi

Ordering more pipes today so I can fabricate a few sets. I think it would be best if these become standard in the kit.

Should have my car back this Friday or sat... oh with a new main seal...

I'm sure they will be happy to take your money... and promise you "more features coming soon" :ugh2:

Well I certainly hope it works out for you. There are too many guys who believed the hype and threw money at them with still nothing to show for it

correct Originally when I built, I thought I had knock, but later found out it was just a broken stock flywheel. I was overly paranoid and thought the noise was light knock so I bought a spare...

i feel like i could have had a nice chuck of all this money if i rounded everyone up and said for 25% i'll go break some legs and get it all back.

Bobby called me this morning to give me a verbal update on my car and I can't tell you how much better I feel. Like I said before the main seal is in and he actually cranked it up. He said it idle...

Wish I saw this thread sooner than later. After my car left HP a fe months ago my engine didn't last more than a week. Now with a new engine and my Stillen SC I plan to tune with Matin Struck at...
