I would expect a 7500 rev limit, but how soon will you dyno tune this car? I'd like to see how far you go when you tune it on the dyno. Is the car running with te 2.6 ltr yet?

Considering the 2.3L is about 8k, I don't know how the 2.6L can really spin 7500 rpms

When was this?

It's obvious they changed the design of the rods comparing the pictures.

I know RC devs runs a couple of 2.4 BC machines with no problems.

Yeah, I'd like to see that. Not that I'm an engine pro, but I'd still like to see that.

MR.Alex, do you evn plan on spinning this motor up to even 9000?

well 7000 rpm max would be disappointing and a gt35 may not be as fun unless you can get up to 7500 or 8000 and see the top end power for longer... but I can only imagine the gobs of torque (and pretty much instant with that kind of displacement) that a green and 30psi would make!!!! I'm sure any 50 trim would make for a fun street setup as well

A 2.6 liter will not be any good for you if you are wanting to run a GT-40r or bigger size turbo.

They might have made some changes, but I would get something in writing, stating if something does go way off, your covered.

That's a lot ot spend on a stroker with with big issues in the past....

Nice kit. Good luck with it. I wouldn't chance it at 9k rpms though.
