It REALLY is a great deal considering your options two years ago. I started to build my "forged" 3L around two years ago before I had ever heard of AER. Plus, you get the bonus of a cam set spec'd for turbo use. Not to mention, it a fully build long-block. 1 day's worth of work to pull the old and drop this one with very little to nothing needing to be swapped over.

Oval port. The only changes I'm making to the engine as shipped are to remove COP and cap one oil drain fitting. I'm very nearly replacing the entire SVT drivetrain.

you are so right tropic green I am so close to being done. I have it running very close to good. Tom has made my life stress-free with tuning he is an awesome tuner and very knowledgable. I made some test run on low boost nothing over 4000 rpm and I will say it feels good for now.

I installing my wideband AEM this weekend so we can get some good full throttle pulls on street. I hope your numbers turn out good too. But say the least I will maybe be done by this week. Thanks to Tom quick help.

I will say this the motor you have is the way to go because I know for a fact that the money I have in my motor alone is more than you paid. So for people who want to have the beast they should follow your path.

At least you have a company backing you up on warranty. My warranty is break in down start over lol.

Keep your eyes open this will be a great year for us.

SO what do you have stilov. What setup and what are you expected to do? I for some reason have not seen any post on your build?
