Thanks, Matt. I'll add them to the list of places to consider.

David, it's knocking but hasn't blown up. Right now I'm just gathering options.

Doesn't appear to do head work: $5482

Includes head work: $6995
http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/p-196-s2...e-package.aspx

Kind of wonder if they've gotten better at building these since Skip was running the 2.5L and blew a bunch of them up.

Based on Skip's experiences, I would pass.

In fairness, Skip punished them a fair bit more than I could. And Rob's fail rate with Daisy has to be approaching Skip's numbers. (Granted, Skip barely got a full session out of at least one of the strokers, IIRC.)

Unless your class requires I would stay away from heavily modifying the engine performance internal wise. They just can't hold up to an experienced driver beating on them lap after lap.

I'm more of a hobbyist-on-hiatus. We just had a baby, but generally try to do a few track days per year.
