after 3 years of the car sitting with a blown motor,decided to do a build.
Let me know what you guys think.

for now just doing the engine,FB black would probably be the turbo option.
Ultimate goal is a DD that's fun on twisty roads.

 

IMO for a DD an FP Black is over kill, I'd go for a red or punchy green with ID1300X with a 450 on flex tune. Id also run 150 rods

 

We don't have much e85 out her in Canada
Goal was 550-600whp
How come 150 rods?

 

I went through this thread and didn't really find a good enough reason to go with a LR for my 2.0 build

Thank you for the reply....
So you are saying I have LR rods?
Not to familiar with all the measurements.
This is what my engine builder recommended me.
Still waiting on what type of injectors and clutch I will have


Cams just came in also.

 

156mm are referred to as long rods. For my use I only needed 420 hp for track days and quick runs. After driving it for 6 months its probably a bit over powered, the power hits super hard off the line, no lag and not many cars stay with me on a low speed pull. If I was going to run a big turbo I'd go a 94 mm eagle crank for a 2.2 stroker

 

Thank you for a detailed reply.
Inside mentioned to my builder I wanted to rev a little higher...maybe that's the reason.
This build is for about. 6-9 month
I will be changing some things up for more power down the road... especially the crank
But the builder is confident that the sock crank is good for 700
