In most cases there are NO warranties with RACE PARTS, but it does seem like in this case there might be some sort of a acception if there have been so many other's having the same problem. Knowing that, I would not of put it on car my to start, I think we all knew about this problem when the first one busted appart and killed a set of turbo's. Solid aluminum is worth waiting for if this is an upgrade that you must do.

To be running that power @ 1.3 bar you would need larger valves/ports, like the GT3 heads and maybe 102 or 104 mm pistons.
None the less, EVO has 830 @ the wheels and until someone posts something better, they are the current Top Gun.
That engine is producing well over 900 hp @ the crank. I have reliable info. that the car almost jumped off the dyno at 5000 rpm's.

I saw the car dyno and it was intense when it started hitting hard it was moving down the front of the dyno incredible!

there are 2 cars... gt700... and another one... but i thought the requirement has to be based on stock engine with no internal mods???

Just got back... really bad luck on Fred's part. Car was running great one Saturday when Fred drove it last and when we took it off the transport on the way to the track that's when it went bye bye
Cary's stuff was all kitted out on that car and it was the stiffest one out there. I think he had a really good chance...
