$15,000 how to spend on the motor...
I have about $15,000 to put into my evo, i got some ideas from a local dsm shop wanted advice from fellow evo owners from the board....im looking for about 600awhp on pump....
heres what i THINK im going to do...
-Stage 2 ported race head w/ all the goodies(Decked, cleaned and hot tanked, valve job, street/strip port work, sss swirl polished 1mm oversized valves, upgraded race valve seals, dual over springs, spring seat locators and titanium retainers, bronze silicone valve guides)... straight 272 HKS cams
-Buschur deluxe fmic
-Stage 3 shortblock (eagle rods/ross pistons, ARP Main studs, B/S removed, New oil pump, front case, new bearings, hot tanked, decked, magnafluxed, balanced)
- Buschur deluxe UICP
- no idea on turbo yet
-was kinda curious about a stroker kit, but the shop talked me outta it, said the motors dont last that long or something. also said i cant rev very high.
LETS GET YOUR INPUT! BUILD MY EVO!

oh oh let me get to you before warralton does!! lol...SEARCH. i think there are a couple threads about how to spend money you know? and with 15k might well do all of what you want to do cause that's pretty much all you'll need. =P
Actually, this is a complicated issue that I personally wouldn't even begin to provide advice on.
What I would say is to talk to Buschur, AMS, and/or TurboTrix to find out if the stroker comment is bs and to make sure you get the most out of your money. I pesonally would start with Buschur and ask about his stroker kit...

You would not go wrong in having Buschur Racing build you a motor.
It's my belief, that David Buschur has forgotten more then most know about DSM horsepower & real reliabilty.
But that's only my thoughts....

haha i love warralton answer...kinda reminds me of lord of the rings when the king of rohan theodin tells the hobbit, "I shall say no more" sorry i know its off topic. but it's hilarious.
Talk to RNR, they have a 2.7L engine coming out soon. 2.4L block with stroker kit. Talk to a big reputable shop before making decisions. I think if I was really gonna spend all that money on an Evo engine, I'd go with at least the 2.3 stroker or 2.4 block for mad torque, then throw on a GT35R or something to get massive horsepower. Then do all your supporting mods and engine work to keep everything together. Good luck dude!
