I have the same question that BoostedProbe has.
Who's gonna build the motor?
I am either going to order a short block from sharif, or build one up but I don't currently have anyone I trust with to do the work on the VQ bottom end.

Ha ha, that's too funny. My wife always calls me at work, asking what I bought now when the delivery truck shows up. I am a step ahead of you though, when we decided to buy a house, I said I want to build a new one. She was happy about that, but there is a reason. I let her do everything, floor plan, color, lighting, kitched...she drew up the floor plan as well.... everything. That way I don't have to listen things like " I need a new kitchen".
Expensive, yes, but no nagging.
Back on toppic, who is doing the engine build for you?

so we ended up buying a house built in 1991 that was on a 1/2 acre lot in Sylvan Lake the people we bought it from were in there 80s so the whole house could use renovating and new carpets
. I bought a long block from the US. I trust Lightspeed to do the build but the prices in the US are hard to compete with right now.

i would go with the JWT C8 cams like i have. With these cams i was able to keep making power all the way to the 7k rpm redline. This was without any headwork also.

Update my car is now fully tuned on the Vi-PEC it made 412whp at 6.8psi on old 91 fuel that has been sitting for several months it was an increase of about 15whp over the split second box. The tune was a very safe one Cam at Lightspeed just wanted a base map for future projects. Now its off to pull the motor and hope parts start showing up real soon.

- very nice - can't wait to see the built #'s. Did you guys try any of the features, like the flat shift? How was the startup and idle?FYI - my turbo guy said that the anti-lag may be harmful to the turbos if it is just pouring in raw fuel during shifts. He said it ignites then and can cause seal damage in the turbos. He showed my a turbo he was repairing for a guy that street races and uses the anti-lag, it was FUBAR and he said it needs repair appx every 6 months.

I just watched the auto-tune vid and all I can say is WOW!! I have assembly all next week and may be fully tuned by Saturday. I will be sure to post vids and lots of pics and info on how it went. I am very happy to hear about the start up and idle being stock-like. What size injectors are you running right now, do you have the HKS 1000cc in already?
- I'm feelin you on this - I started to have everything sent to my business address so I don't have to keep purchasing major appliances.
It is getting to the point where some things will have to wait till next year. My wife is getting annoyed every time UPS shows up at our door she wants a new kitchen so that will leave a dent in my car fund.

REALLY? Maybe I should leave my stock injectors in then. I have the APS 400cc but I only plan on runing on the wastegate spring, and it is only 6psi. So I shouldn't have any problems supprting about 360whp with stockers.
Don't mean to highjack the thread, just inquiring.
