Just finished reading through your build, dam dude, lots of work. tears and race car things, know your pain bud but when its driving and you have reached your goal it will be all worth it.
Thanks for reading :)

Ive heard those words before.. One day :)
Hahahaha yeah have been doing some research and to achieve my goal I would need to do drop in forged conrods, new rings, head bolt kit, all bolts, standard pistons,gaskets etc. This should be fine for 350-400bhp. Will re-con the KO4 and do all the Stage 2+ mods. Should be good for 260wkw with Octane or Race fuel right?
For 260wkw you wouldn't need to do a motor refresh. But, with that set of motor modifications you could easily slap on a TTE 420 turbo later on with some updated injectors and get to 300+wkw
Nice, perfect for what I wanna do, can do the semi BT later.
Awesome now its time to pull the trigger on a 8P and get costings together so I can make a budget , then double the budget :lol:
