So what I'm getting at is I have to spend $20k plus to go 600whp. Got it.

Good thing I'm not copying anybody's build thread, and I will still be using my vct and I won't be running a catch can :-O
I really hope I don't hit 600whp first time on the dyno, that would look bad on Roush but that's why he went to a v8 so he can make power and go 10's. lol

i would REALLY like to see 10s in the focus one day but i will be perfectly content with high 11s or low 12s

Well it took me about ten hours but I got new arp studs installed and new head gasket...look what I found when I pulled the head..

This was probably why I had a bit of smoke on cold starts and boost was creeping and wasn't hitting full boost until bout 4700. Anyway drives better now and will baby it for a few more days. Not thread jacking just wanted to share

Was it thru the 2nd piston or is that the camera flash?

Why would it look bad on me? Are we in a competition lmfao. I've already done 600 when no one else was. It's old news. I would like to see someone push the bar and go for more. All my info is out in the open its not like your trying to reinvent the wheel lol

Also I deff didn't have 20k in my car. I prob had the cheapest power per dollar since I did it all myself.

Not sure italo almost every cylinder had about 1\8" minimum ofcoolant on top of piston. But good news was there was no scaring of the cylinder walls so my rings are fine :)
