Never skipped a beat. I'd say the tune is the most important part but damn those motors are strong.


Well what do you think about the ARP head studs? I talked to some UK guys and they say they are better then stock, but not by alot. He said his buddy and few others were making in excess of 500whp with stock head studs and the head started to lift, so he then went with the ARPS and made 620 or something like that with NO head lift, so I figured for the same price I would just grab the ARPS.

I also agree 100% with "its all in the tune"! Don't just take your basic bin file from calum and run it, not saying it won't run great, but from my personally experience there is ALOT more to be had with a fine tune form a good tuner!

No you don't! I have now swapped 3 sr mtors and found the gtir to be a real big pain in the azz. It has alot of different parts, which makes finding parts difficult. Cams are a real pain to find unless you live over in the UK or Australia and there are many other little quirks to deal with also.

I am personally wishing I went with a nice clean w11 with some s4's and my current gt2871r, but I ended up getting the long block for 500 bucks, so i just couldn't turn it down.

I know overall that in the end it will be worth all my pain and suffering. Once I hit 400whp (on race gas) and run 11's, hopefully mid 11's, I will have reached my goal. Then I might move on to something bigger and maybe redo the bottom end, but thats not until something breaks

btw I personally will probably go with some s3m's, unless I am turned onto something else......
