Heads, cams, pistons, rods, twin ignitions, Proto DME, new billet turbos, dual oil coolers, billet lower valve covers or dual plug ignitions, 60# injectors, new valves, guides, cleaned up heads.

Flame ringed reinforced and machined, web cams evo cams, full mechanical rocker set, upgraded valve springs from Protomotive. ARP studs and bolt throughout, pauter EDM forced oil rods, custom relief machined (.160") Mahle pistons, new bearings an seals throughout motor, all friction Bearing and heat Bearing surfaces polydyn coated.

Carbon bits here and there, plx display machined into factory vdo tach, 2012 greddy profec, custom mount, custom exhaust (2 different setups actually), completely custom wiring harness, custom heater pipe ducting, H&R cup col over suspension complete, new brakes, new steering rack, super cool clutch and flywheel. It from a GT2 RS. With a GT3 RSR ultralight flywheel. Looks like jewelry.

There's more I know, but hats the major. Everything has been dry ice cleaned with the motor an tranny out of the car.

Stealth minus black 996tt wheels for the wider tread. Plus the H&R cup coilovers have it sitting pretty low.

Yeah. Cams all timed. Motor sealed up. All the little parts going on it yesterday and today. Should come to life in a couple days. Of course the holiday put a damper on the progress.

Sorry guys I've been busy. But, supposedly the car will be done very very soon. I've gotten a monster size Protomotive intercooler in there now. ARP head studs. All the valvetrain is fully mechanical as well now. The guides were replaced again, the underside was cryodetail cleanses, which I'm not happy with the contractors work. Him and I disagree. I'll bomb that one later. But if you are in the Dallas or Houston area I can tell you who not to use.

Also I loaded the entire interior wit some carbon from Marcus Buehler. To keep it different i had him put the famous slogan in which I believe in the door sills. It's killer IMO. I guess after taking this long to get something done my opinion is all that counts lol. Jk. It's been a long road.

Pistons were machined and recoated. The exhaust is going to be straight three inch off the turbos down to 2.5 at the heater boxes. Then out the b&b bypass tips. Should be loud. Like I like it.

Updates coming soon.

sorry for the crap video. Phone upload and I was in a hurry that evening. Shes alive. The motor sounds damn good. Excuse the tach etc. Its not completely wired in yet. Nor is the interior finished or the intercooler and exhaust cat delete done yet. Looks like a week or so more but I will be in NC for a short while. Anxiously ready to get this story behind me and finish my Big Block Chevy truck build.

Well, as I sit here...

Unfortunately I suffered a very bad lower back injury last week. I am bed ridden until further notice. Hopefully no surgery.



This is my first back injury. Hopefully my last too. It's insane pain.
