Yes sir! Mine is the black 993TT in their gallery.

Anytime now, I anticipate they'll put up a pic of my "996 GT2RS Cabriolet" project they are working on-starting from my 996 Turbo S Cab, the goal is 800HP on pump with RWD.

After Cases were cleaned

I was going to media blast and clean these but circumstances did not permit me picking up the parts to polish from Motorwerks. That would have been pretty sick to have a nearly chrome motor though. oh well I will save that for the truck.

This is so good looking it is going to start its own thread

I am pleasantly reminded why I love B&B exhaust so much. These welds and tips are to die for.

Your build is almost identical to mine except I went 3.8 and alpha 28 turbos. Todd got 700rwhp out of it but it takes 3500 rpm to boost while yours should boost instantly. You're gonna love it.

Yeah, since I stayed 3.6 the Pistons were a tad bit narrow underside. Pauter machine is currently going to pocket out for rod clearance and send back... Stupid delays.

Piston skirts

So the parts are back and the build resumes. I bought a new Ecoboost F-150 SuperCrew to tug the toys around. Should be good. All the stereo equipment and what not out of my Honda is going in it. Ecoboost is probably the best thing to come from america since the LS engines. Only time will truly tell though.
