Nah, I’ll do your clutch if you want me to do so. You don’t seem like the type of customer that complains when a typical clutch job takes more than 4 hours :lol

Most CF exterior wise will be possibly a wing capable of providing mroe downforce. Hood is pretty light as it is, but it will have a NACA duct on it. I’d do a carbon hood, but the Tein hood struts would crack it instantly lol.

I’m sure its possible to make a 10k RB26 but seriously why would you?

Displacement+Boost \> Redline.

I would go 2.8 before 10k any day of the week.

Lest we forget F=1/2MV^2

Good luck with the valvetrain.

The power you could get by going to 10K is just as easily gotten by turning up the boost, and WAY more reliable.

Chris, what if you pull the hood struts out and use 4 pins?

Stroker crankshaft (from a good company) is ~$4500. And I’d still need to do head work to make it work 100%

i dont see how that makes you ghey. cf hood on pins is normal. ur not trying to be a poser or anything. theyre there to hold the hood because the struts could crack it.
