Motor is in. The last pic is of the car finally running with the new motor after 4 long months. Overall the build went really well. Most of the time was spent deciding on what I wanted to do and waiting on the shipping of parts. After I primed the oil pump the car started right up and ran good once it learned the idle all over again for the 680cc injectors. Right now my UTEC is scalled to 650cc injectors and I'm adding in 28% of fuel into the 0 load point of the fuel map. The car idles really smooth and better than before on just the stock ECU right at 1100rpms.

Also a big thanks goes out to Mark and Paul for the awesome tuning they did on the car. It runs great on race gas and 27psi. I'm dropping to about 23.5psi at redline. I can still get more out of the turbo and I'm safe to turn it up on the WG a bit more to hit 29psi peak.

It's been a while since my last update, but the car is all tuned and still running strong after 2000 miles. On pump gas the car feels the same as before. Probably around the 350-360whp mark. On race gas it is a completely different story. I am peaking at 29psi and with the Forge WG the boost is falling to roughly 23psi. I would estimate 400-415whp. 5th gear is a totally different animal hitting 26-27psi!! I'm already working towards a turbo upgrade (GT35R) and I'm going to hold off on the stroker. I may even sell my other block that I have. It would just need to be honed out .020" over.
