You are doing a rebuild yourself? Actually machining and balancing the block and rotating assembly? Do you own/work at a machine shop?

no way.. I'm not that crazy.. haha.. I got the mmr short block. 6cc manely rods/pistons/ corba crank 9.3:1 compression/ alum block.

Cool! I think that's what he meant. Assembling an engine seems a little less tricky than building it I think. Either way, you are a stud for taking on this challenge. Hope all goes well for you.

You have a 9.3:1 compression with a procharger? I thought the higher numbers are optimal for a TS? I thought centrifugals ran better with a 8 1/2 - 9:1?
That's what I've heard anyway. When I have my motor built I was planning on close to a 10:1 and I have a saleen.
