Details:
I built this setup to learn about engine tuning. It started out stock and progressed to what you see here. This car's engine was built less than 6k miles ago so you're essentially buying a built motor in a convinient rolling driveable carying case. The car is for sale because I have no time to work on it and would like to focus on other things. I'll throw in my tuning laptop and some extra parts for whoever wins it; new e-brake shoes, flex disk, misc gaskets, etc

- Built 2.7l M20 stroker with 5,776 miles (See engine details below) (CR 8.5:1)

Issues:
Suspension is nice and tight (for stock), there is slight oil leak from one of the turbo fittings. It's more of an annoyance than anything as it gets drips of oil on the floor. I've got a garage again now so I can finally get it up on jackstands to get a good look at it. Lastly, the interior has some issues. While the seats, headliner, and dash are ok, 3 out of 4 of the door cards have peeling leather. The driver's-side rear door solenoid stopped working and I converted it to a manual lock. Like I said in the post, I'm basically selling the car for the price of the motor in it.

Someone stance this and enjoy, my wagon was epic to drive 5-speed.

What's the final drive?

Just out of curiosity, how much power does it put down?

Getting the car on a steady-state dyno and finishing the tune was the last step for me to call this project "finished", I just haven't been able to get it out to one. The goal of the project was to be just under 300hp, I think I'm making around 230-240hp. The car is conservatively tuned rich at the high end of the powerband.
