thanks worzel

nice comments, agree with the 2.5 route as a daily driver if your chasing 600hp then get 2.35 deffo BUT a 600hp car is not a daily drive .
Running a nice well built 2.5 at a safe 500 is an every day drive,500 is a quick car and requires a skilled pilot to use it to its potential.
how many of those big built fast road cars are actually driven at the peak power that a dyno graph shows, i know of a couple

if you want a 600hp mental quick car that wont break visit rcm its the only way and you will pay for it .
i was under the impression bluebugeye wanted a value for money good strong engine that will with the right turbo put you in front with the leaders,my engine is NOT a built at home in the garage engine, it was put togather by paul blamire (zen performance) one of the best engine builders around. this engine has only covered running in miles.
i would get the engine and heads fitted by a pro ,purely to get optimum timing set up
and peace of mind in knowing the car was fitted plumbed and primed properly before it was run
imho a 2.35 is an unnessesary build for a fast road car unless you are considering doing drag work and many hours of track time every year

anyway im getting carried away now so i'll shut up
