Just curious as to your Turbo selection. I see you are aiming for 600 hp. If this is correct, than a 2.3 would be ideal. Anyhing higher generally requires revs which the 2.3 does not care for. Just something to think about. I went 2.3 a little over a year ago with a 35r. I have since gone 37r and now am reverting to a 2.0.

Good Luck

PARTS I NEED

AMS Evo VIII Stroker Kit 2.3 with upgrade to oliver rods
AMS Evo VIII Ported Race Head
AMS 1000 HP Fuel System
PTE 1200CC Injectors
Buschur Racing Coil-On Plug W/ BR Spec CDi
AMS EVO VIII VSR Intake Manifold

Your going to be looking at almost 10 grand in parts right there along. Maybe a few hunder less but then shipping is whats going to put you over the top.

I would have both the motor and head sent out to the same shop for porting and boreing. It should cost you no more then 1800 with o-ring for both parts. I paid 1700 for a full out race port and block assembly plus the guy had to grind down certin part of the block to make room for the Groden rods. That took a few days untill he got it perfect but then on the other hand the guy how did the work is a beast on evo motors.

Get the injectors on your own $320
COP system ebay $990 shipped
Fuel systems there are so many options i would just get a A1000 $325 Pump Controler volt reg. im not sure what its called $275 Lines and Fittings $400

I could go on and on about this.

i went with the 2.3 for the faster spool up especially since i got the gt3782r. i know that the 2.0 can rev limit way way up there but i dont know it was either between the spool up or the high rpms. plus later on i might get a 40r so i think i made the right decision
