as Ive spent sooo much cash on this car to get it right the first time. Probably spent about $25kUS on the rebuild, including intercoolers and exhaust. Every service item has been replaced like the pulleys etc, oil pump, water pump basically everything. Used all new bolts with much higher strength (from caterpillar trucks). Im hoping this engine will never give me a problem again. Ive gone through every single rebuild post on here and made sure Ive covered everything thats gone wrong on other peoples builds. Im just hoping I dont get unlucky on something.
My setup is pritty similar to yours, except Ive gone with gregs inconel manifolds so Im hoping my chart will be similar but 500rpm to the left and higher peak HP. If it turns out like that I will be very happy. Boosting at 3k rpm and 500hp by 4.5k rpm will be an unreal ride.
