Tear down video of STM's, BR built 2 liter.
Selling so many engines clearly shows that people like them because they perform. period!!!
My buddy is going back into an EVO VIII RS this week. We already started planning on the BR engine setup! LOL

Emery answered it best. I'm not sure how many engines he has bought from us to date, I don't know if it's good fortune/luck or their expertise in maintaining and tuning the cars but he has not had ONE SINGLE issue or failure from any engine we have built him to date.
I build every single engine that leaves this building, EVERY single one.
All blocks are built the same way, depending of course on what is ordered. We also build engines differently depending on the use, from the size of the engine to the compression, the materials used in them etc. I do not however take extra time or change clearances etc., to make an engine for "Emery" run better and last longer than one for "Joe blow from Utah". I think that's what you were actually asking and the answer is absolutely not.
The best thing I can do is build a guy the correct engine for what he needs and make it last through anything he throws at it. When I do that he sends his friends and from the looks of our engine building schedule that plan works out. In the last two weeks we've shipped 12 engines. This week looks like another 5-7 engine builds going out of here.

The car ran 8.75 I believe as it's best, Emery jump in here with me. The pass I saw I don't think Emery was even power shifting the car. It was a nice, power window streetable EVO. Things are going to change. DSM's are running in the 8.3-8.4's now and Shepherd ran 7.70's, what, 6 years ago?
We will see. It's always easy to talk. I'd like to see someone do it and I'd really like it to be someone I am not only helping do it but also good friends with. It is not in my plans, I have no desire to chase records anymore with the EVO personally.

David is right, The car went an 8.75 last year and went 8's over and over again. Last year I never even power shifted the car. This year, when the car is done, it will be a completely different car. It will still be nice but it will be a lot lighter and should be able to get the power to the ground. I don't want to bench race as it might not even work but I can only hope it will be a lot faster. I guess if your not trying different things then your not trying hard enough.
As for passes on this motor, I have to assume its over 150 maybe even closer to 200. Last year, not one single part on the car broke so we were at it quite often. We also put a ton of street miles on the car racing stretched 1000's and anything else around here that was fast.

People were laughing a few years back at the idea of Evo's running 10's on a T3 turbo. Now an Evo running 10's with a stock appearing turbo is as common as a 60 year old woman in an automatic Corvette.
