Another 2.3 stroker but by RRE!!!

I spun the number one bearing and needed a short block. I went with Road Race Engineering because of there awsome REP and there location.

I owe a big thanks to Rober G. and Mike W. for there hard work, exellant service, answearing all my questions, and most of all TAKING CARE of me.

The car pulls like a beast. Im currently boosting 10.5 psi.

The car is running very very good. Seems to run smoother than the stock 2.0.

I would highly recommend RRE to anyone for there motor builds or any services they offer.

Current mods
2.3 stroker built by RRE
272/272 hks cams
EXED with smart
Walbro 255 fule pump
680 injectors
Cat delete, DP, and full 3in Borla Exhaust
Defi BF/s oil,boost,egt
Nesi FMIC
Fidanza adjustable cam gears
RRE No Name clutch 3200lbs

Where is the meet on Friday. You never called or pmd so I bought one off socalevo.

I had to purchase a new oil cooler, clutch, and a few other small things but I paid between $5500-6500 for labor and everything. My stock crankshaft was toast. Usually your good condtion crankshaft has some type of value beacuse the shop will be able to reuse it for something
I went with JE pistions and Eagle rods.

why the new oil cooler? couldnt the old one just be flushed? I assume it was replaced due to metal from the engine coming apart. Did you mean oil pump? That would make more sense.
