EDIT:
So Spooler. I watching some of the videos and thinking about my own build, i'm trying to learn from what you've done here. I'm wondering about displacement now. Would increasing displacement allow me to reach higher HP with lower boost and lower compression (and worse fuel, we don't have ethanol at the pump here, i'm not going to mix my own fuel). The Brian Crower stroker kit comes to mind. Boring larger on the stock block seems iffy from the information I've gathered from your thread, would allow for much easier distortion of the cylinder it seem. But larger sleeves maybe? What's the reason you didn't increase displacement in either of your engine builds?

I didn't see a need in increasing displacement. To go to a 4.0 liter I would have needed a stroker crank. I am happy with the power I have to be honest. The car is a handful now. More than most can drive. I have been driving turbo cars for years. Good luck getting in the 700hp range on pump gas. It can be done but longevity I do not know. You can go to a much larger bore with Darton MID sleeves. If you have never had a high hp car, start out at a lower hp and work your way up.
