Yeah, bummer bro. Call me next time you are coming up.
I have a lot of variables but Adam diddn't have a problem getting me a pretty close tune over the phone. He spent Sunday on the phone with me and sent me 4 tunes until it was right. Now that is service!
I already had the 3.75" stroker crank but you can get a 3.8" stroker crank. As far as the bore goes there is only .030 of "bore-able" material in the cylinder walls. Adam sonic tested my block to confirm this. Soooo, if someone wanted to bore away that good material to maximize cubes they could. I wanted to have lots of material left for future rebuilds etc. so I only bored the cylinders .005 over. That was just to insure that I had perfectly machined cylinders instead of relying on what the block came with.

So when do you think you will be able to get some N/A dyno #s
how many miles you going to do for the break in period.
Over the phone tuning for a build like this...cool. Did you datalog each tune and call back the results?
Do you know how much it was for just the shortblock?

That is just for the block, i'm more curious how much an assebled short block(rotating assembly in block) would cost @ mmr its about $5-7k depending on the combo and hp levels.
Just curious how much was spent so i know what the $$ difference would be from buying assembled or taking a couple of weeks to build myself w/father.
