I will finally be returning home in September to Finish the project. I will have more photo's plus a new dyno with the fresh engine. The goal is to have it track ready soon so I can hit the track. This has always been my dream, and hopefully all goes well. thank you for looking I hope you enjoyed what I have so far.

 

Just curious why the 3mm headgasket?

It's my dream as well but I think I should have dreamt about money growing on trees first rotfl

What do you plan to put down?

 

I was informed by the nice people at inlinepro in order to make the numbers I wanted the stock head gasket had to go. So I went with 3mm to lower the compression to run more boost. Right now the car is making 509whp@19psi on 93, the goal is to make somewhere around 550 on pump, and 650+ on 112 or c16.

 

I'm shocked they said this when you are building the motor anyways. Just lower the cr a tad.

this was before the big build, this was when I was running the stock bottom end

 

Is your motor the oem sleeve 2.4?

 

No I went with Signature series 2.4L short block
