This is a stock VQ37 block from a junkyard, with HR heads with JWT's most aggressive drop in cams. It is just a test motor, and the goal right now is to get the chassis working right, all the complicated electronics, the gearbox, etc. So yeah we are just trying to get laps on the car right now.

We will be putting a JWT built 4.0L high compression stroker motor with flow benched heads with custom machining for giant cams, eventually. That motor will rev to 8500ish if we go with the billet crank. That is phase II of this rebuild of the car. Get it working probably and get everything we can out of the chassis, then start adding power. Ultimate goal is the 25 hours of Thunderhill, so we will always run the engine slightly conservative.
