> RPM in Georgia, VT. I 100% guarantee you that he has the resources to build one of your motors correctly. Ray’s Supra has the first 2JZ he ever built, and it’s making 1100RWHP from 3 litres…6 years after it was built. Just an example.

My father is friends with Rick the owner. They used to work on a Busch GN together back in the day. It used to be TRICKY RACING in the early 90’s when he started out. He learned from John Keefer who is also a really great engine builder and works for Rick now I think. Rick built all the 302 and 307 engines for my fathers circle track cars back then. He is a meticulous guy and takes great pride in his work! Not cheap but he does it right. My father was getting full seasons out of engines turning them 7200-7400 with the 302 and never had to refresh them when other guys were yanking there motors half way through the season. I think that 302 made 360hp on engine dyno with unported cast iron 289 heads, 10:1 compression, solid lifter flat tappet cam, and 500cfm carb. Impressive with what they had to work with!!
