It is a totally brand new engine. I sat and looked at my old one and saw that 3 cylinders had died. 5k paid for very high quality and top notch components. Cam/ pistons/ serious heads with lots and lots of polishing etc. I have not put it on a dyno but its the stuff that you really wish you had. 400+ HP stuff. Trust me I have driven it its no crate engine from Mexico. The place that built the engine was inhabited with machinists in white lab coats.

However. It is not doing what its meant to do. This is why I am really worried.
