Do you have a kit in mind, specifically since you mentioned 12 psi in your first post?

lots of bolts left off.
both intake cams on upside down
cam bolts hand tight
mains aimed toward the back of the motor
girdle aimed towards tha back of the motor
rod caps all mixed up and turned whatever way he wanted
i guess the piston wrist pin locks wouldnt go in the way he thought so he took some plyers and squished them until they fit
oil ring only had middle and top ring, oopppsss where do the rest of these go??
no balancing , no machine work, stock bore pistons with no ring filing
thrust washers?? who needs those!!
head studs tqed to probably around 45-50 ft pounds
i wonder why it wouldnt run??
dont let this guy build your motor!!

sounds like a pro was building the motor lol. Well ive decided not to take any kind of risk since it seemed a little shady and am probably just going 2 buy ZU_L8Rs built shortblock at the end of the summer. no i didnt have a specific kit in mind i was originally going single but after talking with a buddy who has twins for about 2 hours 2day who started with a single, he said dont even waste my time and money. so now its going twin, but i have no idea what kit yet lol

Some people are happy at a certain power level, especially if they aren't taking their car to its true potential (redlining it while daily driving isn't full potential). But as it stands, the twin setups provide the most consistent/most popular high powered VQ's.
