Not really sure yet. If you are seriously interested in taking the old. PM me and we'll talk about prices. But how's the car running after all that was said and one. I bet you miss the boost. swing by and we'll go for a spin. Been a while since i've heard from you or anyone else

Fine? For how long is the question. That's if we are talking about maintaining the stock stroke. And the whole idea of....reving to 9k and not using it because you don't drive that way.....yea makes little sense to me but ok.
Hallie Berry gave me her phone number and said I can come by anytime I feel like it, but I'm only going to swing by on holiday get togethers....LOL.

If Hallie Berry isn't enough motivation, guess would have to find out what made him tick.
Cause it would be like me being on a stock motor, and doing a few dyno passes at 500whp (which could be done a few times for sure), but I granny drive it for a year at 500+whp and not getting on it which we know would blow it up after a few hard wot.. No sense in having it if you can't use it. I'm not one to have something just to have it and brag, but not be able to use it reliably. Could he rev it to 9k...Don't see anything stopping him. But to just have it and not be able to use it...not much of bragging rights in that.
Destroke it (do it right), and be one of the few reving that high making kick butt power. Cause I've seen the vid of the car in action and it's a beast for sure, and it sounds like he's got the knowledge and funds to do it, so why not.
The PR guy with 500whp and 8500rpms was awesome to see, but it was a brief burn out here and there, and then he and Pito Vanished from the forums with nothing else much left besides that burn out vid or two. I would love to see someone of a privateer status go down this path. I would be happy with 7800rpms myself, but I'm on board to see what a 9k rpm tC done right, looks like.

yea but those came on NA cars (heavy like the galant's, spyders, etc etc)... we're talking about FI here...
unless you want to toss in the frankenswap of putting the the 63 head on the 64 bottom end like some evo/dsm owners jump into... that would be like taking the 2az block and slapping the gt-s head on it. his build is still an all 2azfe build.. not a frankenswap yet atleast lol
