Hey all, I am going to AMS in Maryland tomorrow to start the "build" of my bottom end! I have an AMS(chicago) 2.3L Stroker Kit and ACT Clutch/Flywheel and will be making the 3 hour drive tomorrow morning to get these parts installed and tuned! Ill keep everyone updated on how it goes!

Nice, please do. Let us know how the drive went too lol any road kills or racers. lol

 

Forget it.

 

Just trying to decide on building the head as well or building the tranny??? Any opinions?

 

go with the tranny.

 

tranny.... you win the lottery?

 

nice...ill do the same down the road.

 

If you are doing the head I recommend you give Jackson Auto Machine a call. I just had my head there getting valve job, spring, retainers, lifters, and cams put in. Very impressed with their knowledge and service. Great people who really know their stuff. BTW they are in MD.

 

Well, they have my baby for like the next month! Im getting a 2.3L installed, head built, clutch/flywheel installed. Ill post up progress as we go! Thanks Marty and the guys at VIPGarage (I went with VIPGarage instead of AMS due to the outstanding customer support).

 

nice good luck with the build

 

BALLA!!!

 

lol, check post #9...

 

You are going to love that motor, I am still breaking mine in and I couldn't be happier with it. Off boost and partial throttle right now feel incredible. Congrats on your purchase. I don't even notice the lag, and the truth is I'm having to be real careful not to boost to much. It comes on way quicker than I would have thought.

 

Nice! I was looking into a 35r, but I need to save a lil $$$ and break in the motor, then Ill get it. How do you like the truboost? I am thinking about getting one.

 

Well it's a pain in the butt to set-up, but other than that I can't really say alot. I haven't done any full throttle runs to redline, so I'm not sure how its going to respond. The main reason I went with it is because I needed a boost gauge that reads past 30psi, and with the sensor upgrade they offer it should read up to 70 psi if I remeber correctly. It's also nice to have less clutter in the cabin too.
