Yes, Todd has made the entire kit himself, and it displaces 3778 cc which I think is the largest. I think the manufacture of these pistons etc are made in California?? The intake cams are still being regrind which I think are closer to GT3 spec except for the lift.
Thanks
Robert

at some point longevity hasto be an issue.... just have to decide if Porsche is the ig platform for 1000hp. it's PROBABLY possible to get 2000hp out of the flat-6 but t some point one must wonder.... with F1 engines creating 1000+HP on say, 2 liters for 25-45 seconds, we come to a conclusion tht having the fastest (in straight line)P-Car may be inefficient whe you can get an EASY 2000+HP from say, $50K (or less) into a Dodge Hemi motor on nitrous and supercharging. you get 7-second passes, too.... the cool-factor is definitly there with the P-Car but I am beginning to believe that must past a PE700/EVOMS700/GT750 with interals and race gas is sort of a game of "how much boost does it take to blow the motor" but for now... until the EVOMS stuff arrives or UMW does their teardown and rebuilt of my own car... I have to wai until I get 700HP before truly "believing" that consistenly making 1000hp on 3.6/8 liters is worthwile for me.

Another huge problem is the clutch, the seem to start slipping after the 800 RWHP mark. So, on the advice or Marek I will be upgrading to a different clutch. If anyone has any recommendations feel free to let me know.
Thanks

Rob. Car sounds great. Can't wait to see it. Let me know if you need me to run up to Harrison and check on it! Sounds like a good time to go nosing around the shop . . .
