The top end power is going to be awesome, but I am not sure about the lower rpm power? When you get her done, please post what you think of the whole marriage of the parts and its ability to produce a broad power band.

No problem, will report once the car is finished and 'run in'.
Its just a matter of time when its put back together. The only weakness now is the gearbox. The synchros are a bit crunchy specially going into 3rd.

btw - My tuner says because its a JUN engine and they supplied the new block, they have done some sort of treatment to the bores of the cylinder and using JUN pistons, there's really no need for running the engine in!! I'm not too sure about this so I'll take it easy for the first 1K miles or so to be on the safe side!
