They are great guys. I have driven to their facility twice from here in NC. Definitely the best at what they do, and second to none in customer service.

Update!!

They got my block back and it will be in the engine room this week. I cant wait to get this thing back to the house. I added a few things to the build. Im replacing the pump gears with billet gears. And ordered some cam covers from brenspeed as well. So hopefully by Monday I can make a new thread and show you guys the dyno run. Suppose to have ****ty weather on sunday so hopefully it clears up by Tuesday.

I had already bought most of the extras for this build before actually buying the rotation assembly. Timing chains, gaskets, bolts I had about 2000 dollars in extras that I had bought about a year ago so that's why I didn't go with the 326. Im not sure what the cost comparison would be against this build. Id imagine similar plus this is gonna be plenty of horse power for me. Im looking for the 525 to 550 mark. I believe anything over that and its probably not all that practical on the street as I have heard 600 to 650 is pain to have on the street. I do believe the 326 is heavier buy about 50lbs unsure of that but I know its heavier.

I can tell you I got a quote from them for the B326 build and it was near $11k (which I just can't justify)...

Dude that is awesome. What did you decide to do with your transmission? 525-550 is a lot to put through a stock 5r55. Hopefully the snoiw will melt and spring will come soon so you can enjoy this new beast too.

Yeah I didn't think there was much difference in cost. I could have gone cheaper for instance the injectors. I got the IDs which r damned expensive, billet gears for the oil pump. This build with some of the extras I've added will be 10k plus. But I have spaced out my purchases so I wouldn't feel a shock from it.

So I ordered the input shaft but that's it. I have the PA deep tranny pan on it as well. I think it will be ok. I know not to dump the throttle at highway speeds. My understanding is you van abuse these trannys as long as you keep some things in mind which I do. And if it lets go then I guess I'll get a better tranny.
