Who do you suggest for the motor tuning on the ecotec. I've heard it's got a bullet proof bottom end. I'm planning on the stock crank (balanced), block, head (ported/polished),and water pump. With JE Pistons, Carillo rods, titanium valves, titanium retainers, dual springs, total seal rings, T3/T4 turbo, Turbosmart BOV, tial wastegate, and other goodies.
I'm looking for a motor that'll make 500 hp on pump gas. No V12's, sorry, I don't want to wheelie in 4th gear due to weight. Rotary's i think are out, SR20DET is a huge possiblity along with the turbo ecotec, and my first original choice was subaru, but they need $15000 along with race gas to get in the 500 hp range.
Ok red brakes are cool, uh stay in school. Just as long as we're on the subject.

NIIIICE rims...
As for the engine....talk to these people:
http://www.mantapart.com
You'll need to talk to Tim. He's the owner. Tell him an OLD FRIEND sent you, named Nate. Tell him I was the guy with the proto motor in "the Grapefruit"...he should remember, even if it was around 3-5 years ago...
He started working on Ecotecs now(when they first came out, he scoughed and hated them)...and is probably your most reliable source in that respect. He's not exactly the free-est in terms of how fast he gets things done, cause he has so much work behind the scenes that most people don't know about. Work from GM, projects for his own business, keeping the racing team, and a personal life...so he's super busy. But with him, money talks..... He's not, but kinda is, a GM engineer. He does all thier Sema/prototype cars, MAINLY thier suspension, but occasionaly a motor of his will pop-up in one, or has a TON of input from him on design/parts. He does alot of grassroots racing though...
LOL, I take it you saw that website I made about my car....yeah I was like 18 and an idiot writing all that crap...I lost the password to edit/delete it...so i guess it's gonna stay like that forever
As for the brakes..again...nice choice. It's nice to see you picked a rim that shows off the brakes, something not alot of people do.... I'm anxious to see how things work out...
