Got the bad news from FTK. HP numbers WITH the SC are less than the motor came stock (240hp)! Basically, they said the motor is “tired”. They said options are to rebuild or replace.
Unfortunately, I personally do not possess the Know-how to do either. So, I thought I’d ask any of you who have been put in a similar predicament What you would suggest and/or parameters to consider when making a decision to go down either side of this road.
On the one hand, I’m pretty committed to retaining matching numbers and having the thing rebuilt as these cars are appreciating in value. Or, I could take a couple shots of Fukital and go off the course and bastardize the thing.
Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions? I’m wide open here as my mind is spinning in infinity trying to wrap my head around the horrible news I received after the dyno tune.
P.S.- anybody know a rebuilder in SoCal that isn’t a flake, rip-off artist and slacker that takes forever to do a simple rebuild?
