DJ- Well, power should be over 300 at the wheels (knock on wood). Everything is pretty much at stock spec. The Crank was std./std. polished and shot peened. The rods are also being shot peened and ARP rod bolts are being installed. The wrist pin are .003 oversized and they are going to hone the bushings to reflect that.
SS- Its a turbo engine, a low compression operation. I really don't know the compression ratio. I will try to figure that out soon. These are non-interference engines so its not about clearance.
If one were to compair this to Honda engines this would be kinda like an LS V-tec type thing. It is the larger and more robust 2.5L ES bottom end with the top and all the accessories of a Shelby 2.2L. I will do a little write up when I get home from work tonight that explaines what all is being done to the engine so you all can get it without reading 100 posts.
