Let me know if you'll be around this Saturday, it looks like I'm free which is rare! Would love to discuss a turbo, feel the power difference and maybe grab some lunch if you're up for it.

Once I'm settled in a bit, I'll be tearing that motor down and building it up for some more power, yes.

I'll probably be there around that time, just not before 10~11ish, I'm sleeping in a bit.

Man I hate being stuck in the middle of the country. All you guys are either on the east/west coast or Florida. It's a big drive to get to any of you.

Congrats on the new office! Awesome to have the shop right there too. Sounds like a great one-stop shop for most.

Excited to see the new shop setup!

Yes, if any place is a one-stop 86 performance center, this is it!

Once you get a ride in Paul's car, you'll be sold! I did, and I was sold a little over a year ago. Smiling ever since.

If anybody is interested, we've got a FA20 torn down that we are going to building for big power. It's on display in the showroom at the moment:

We are in the "planning" stage right now - trying to decide what compression ratio to aim at, possibilities of a stroker motor, etc.
That's why it's on display, and not being worked on. Soon as we sort out those details, it'll disappear.

Planning is perhaps THE most important phase. Good Luck!
