Yeah, I've been talking with JTRAN (among others). I have the Jun cams right now but may wait for the JWT cams to go to their second stage cams.

After talking to different shops/people/friends I have decided to humble myself and simplify my build. I will still be building the engine (rods/pistons...) but will be parting out the stroker kit and some supporting items.

Although it would be awesome to have a four digit whp number, I simply do not need it. I will be pushing for around 800awhp (which I think is still respectable and can still be a lot of fun) and I think I have narrowed down my builder/tuner (Big thanks to Tony and his badass SOS sedan for the assistance)

Be on the lookout for some nicely discounted BNIB parts for sale!

Aw mehn.... 800hp is still a respectable number. Sometimes a 2nd opinion is what is needed to help curb the "unnecessary spending".... Hopefully I can support you with some of the stuff. ( I'm going boost but staying stock block...... For now).

Yeah, I had to have a "check myself" moment haha. Everything is posted up FS, let me know if you're interested in anything.

Relocated by Traction Control toggle and added a brake boost button and a AWD/RWD toggle.





Parts are still coming in for the build too. Should be in the shop at the end of March.

Thanks! It worked at the strip, but I ran into some issues (either a boost leak or fuel pressure issue)
