Well, there are several...

I like Luis because he's local.

Crispeed is in FL and have proven with tuning... Is he a good engine builder, I think he knows his stuff

Rick Engman in ATL is building engines such as Renesis.. so, I say he would build a REW. Last time I've heard he build one for someone, I've heard he was awesome!

Carlos Lopez in FL is amazing builder with ton of build experience. I say he's the man with all the tools and most rotary race team goes to.

Well I would be all over Louis but I feel its best for me to have a builder whom has built high HP-boosted motors. I am sure Luis is great but when I spoke to him he had not done such. I personally still am happy with BDC and his work. For the price you have a hard time beating it. Again, I think my motor is the highest HP that any BDC motors have made. $2500 no core, not bad... I just want to go with a proven set up that has room to grow. Say I run my 4094 and decide to go gt45 and crank 30psi out... I am so mixed up right now. I pulled all my parts out as I was going to part them all out to help pay for a build, then I putting them back up thinking I was going to build one myself, wake up this morning and supras sure seem nice... LOL....

***Herblenny*** · 05-21-2008, 02:03 PM

Mike, I hear ya.. I think if you want high HP drag/street car then I would highly consider Supra. Don't get me wrong, I love FDs but like yourself, I've seem so many of them go down on the drag strip and so many Supras make it down the drag strip without issues.

If you were to build a road course/track car, I would say stick with FD but high HP drag, I say go with the Supra. I would!!! I say just put your FD back to twin and enjoy driving down the road... and have a Supra for Drag events... Dang, I want a Supra now

Supras are nice, but 'o too common.

Bore and stroke your ported motor and install bigger valves ,that is what Phil told me to do with mine . Then I will need an oil pan brace and two engine torque braces

Didn't really want to start a new thread for this so.

There is a track weekend at Barbers if anyone wants to come hang out and keep me company. I'll be there all day Sat. and Sun. It's with the BMWCCA, should be some nice BMWs and Porsche's, probably a few GT3s, a good many vette's, and the usual mix of other stuff. I'm going to try and see if I can give some rides so if you come and want to ride bring your helmet just incase.

***Herblenny*** · 05-23-2008, 01:10 PM

Chris, Which weekend? If its this weekend, I'm free Sunday and would love to get a ride

SPICcnmFD · 05-23-2008, 01:46 PM

It's this weekend. I'll also be out again in 2wks but I know for a fact I can't give rides then. You may want to call me before you come to see if you need your helmet. I'm not instructing so it's really up to how good of a mood the people running the event are in if they let me. It says no in the documents but I'm going to ask anyway.

sk8world · 05-23-2008, 04:00 PM

MAybe I will bring the Porsche down and try to blow it up!

sk8world · 05-30-2008, 12:35 AM

Here is my results.. Bunch of nasty stuff.. LOL..

85rx-7gsl-se · 05-30-2008, 12:48 AM

Ouch, that hurts all the way up here

SPICcnmFD · 05-30-2008, 07:33 AM
