The car is in its final stages of being buttoned up. It has CP pistons (8.5 CR), Eagle H-beam rods, SLG 4-bolt oil pump and chain tensioner, Raceware head studs, Timeserted block, Schrick 248/256 cams, Supertech +1 mm oversized valves, Supertech titanium double valve springs and retainers, and the head has been ported. Radiator has been upgraded to CSF.
I've already got a GAS DISA, Porsche 997 turbo injectors, 997 spark plugs (2 heat ranges colder), AFD flex fuel kit, AEM WMI, full Supersprint exhaust with Aeroturbine AR-20's, 3.33" pulley, custom OTR intake, JB Racing SMF, Clutchmasters sprung-hub clutch, and the Vortech V3 SCi unit has been rebuilt with upgraded seals.
The stock engine surprised me in terms of its robustness and durability. At 145k miles, it still ran strongly, despite some questionable tuning prior to me remapping it myself. With good tuning, WMI, and E85, 10+ psi with a free-flow exhaust is safe; more is possible if head studs and an intercooler are installed.
