Wow! Such an amazing car and build! Do you sleep at night or just lay in bed waiting for sun to rise to drive it again?
Honestly, I wish there were someone good enough here to build such lethal weapons!
IF I ever come back to visit Boca (family moved to MAryland), I'd sure like to take a look at the car if you haven't sold it by then

I was wondering how reliable a 4.0 stroker is. I have been looking at building a TT Stroker and originally wanted to go with a 4.0 kit but after reading and reading and reading, I learned that you can lose reliability with I believe it was called cylinder wall slap.What is your opinion on this? I am hoping to have HP out the ying yang but don't want to sacrifice reliability. Also who did your build?

I just sold one of my cars to someone in the UAE.........they seem to love fast cars over there.

This is a GTM motor with Cosworth heads assembled by Forged Performance. It even has a billet Girdle to protect the motor at high revs. Put it this way... This motor was over built.
I have never heard of any problems with a sleeveless stroker motor....I made 815whp on a DD .....1006 whp on a DJ .....could have made way more and still I can drive the car in traffic with AC on .....Traction has been a problem from day one because of the power and quick spool up with big motor and big turbos.....but I am in the process of correcting that with Traction Control.

I drove it back from NC which is around 950 miles....I only drive it when I am going to JTran which is around 17 miles from my house....So less than 1500 miles on this new setup. I want to sell it with less than 2k miles .

I wasted a lot of money doing the 700 and 850bb turbo kit setup.... I should have went with a stroker and GT35r from the start.... I would have saved over 30k
