488 whp Vinny Ten Racing
Hi Guys
I just picked up my car from V.T.R. and all I can say is awesome! I have a VTR stg I engine, JWT twin turbo kit with 700’s, Koyo radiator, set of level 5 axels from Driveshaft Shop, RPS clutch with s/s lines, Evo TT Exhaust and AP Racing 6 piston front/4piston rear brake kit. We made 488.45 hp @ 12psi and 436.02 torque on pump gas. We have run this car hard without any overheating or head lift. I love it! I’m breaking in the engine now and after 500 miles, we will turn up the boost. My goal is 500 hp on pump gas which should not be a problem since its only 12 hp from my goal. I recently became concerned over the overheating issues posted on these forums however, Vinny assured me I would not have any of those problems with his engines and he’s right, the car performs flawlessly. Once again, Vinny Ten Racing comes thru!
VTR Rocks!

Not to get OT, but I am going that route next time (stock head bolts)

you guys can stick with stock. i just ordered my new shortblock from forged performance and added a set of L19 studs.
To the OP, you got your block built without knowing whats being done?

That being said, upgrading to L19s is not that big of a deal in the whole scheme of things when buildinga motor, certainly doesnt add any more machining cost unlike 1/2" studs......a lot will depends on the powergoals
