Hey guys, i see there are a couple of you that will be buying our Full Short Block Assemblys. If you guys can get 2 more people together i can do a GB on the short block and offer 5% off the price.

My whole car isn't even worth $5,000! I guess I should get a new one soon.

We will be doing testing on my C70 this weekend on the dyno and start fine tuning the car in. I know you guys want to see some number before you buy so ill give you something to play with this weekend. Once i get the car tuned in the GT3071R should give me close to 450whp. I hope to see high 300whp numbers to start with since this is the first ecu map and its going to take some fine tuning.

Im def in unless financially something happens with my family or myself (but dont count on that!) I want 450+hp biggrin.gif actually im GOING TO HAVE 450+ hp:)

ARP Head Studs Kit is $299.00 and i will give you a price on the HG asap.

Aaron when you are ready let me know. If i have 1/2 from everyone in the groupbuy by NOV 1 the group buy price will be locked in. Full price paid by then locks in group by rate no matter what. Then when 2nd payment is made motors will be completed and shipped. I wana do it this way so some people whom want to get in can.
