Holy Torque. Jeebus! Are you going to build the engine with forged internals now? stock rebuild?

T.B.A Going to continue with side work, tuning, engine work, mechanical labor, and let the car sit for a few weeks, probably won't have time to pull the motor until AFTER the proving grounds. Then I"ll decide.
If things work out, very good chance it won't be TD04's anymore, unless I do just toss in a stock motor to get it up and running. The cost of a stock motor is so close to a monster build...might as well just spend the 25% more is my current train of thought.

Yea might as well. That's what I like about having a project AND a daily, you can let the project sit if need be while you're pissed or whatever, then get to it when you have the time/patience/money. Unlike a Daily project which you are forced to fix ASAP.

Exactly!
I may rip out the wideband and toss it in the truck to see what I can get for MPG out of it though :beer: May be worth the few bucks.

Sorry dude.
For now I am blaming this on the mileage on the motor, 155,800. Now....:beer: next month, I'll figure out the forced upgrade spin on this minor setback.

Torn between a well balanced 3.0 setup at 50-60% power rating and a 3.5 setup I can utilize at 40% capacity...
Unless I find a smoking deal on a stock one, I"ll just drop in a built short block.
