I got a phone call from Mr. Petar K.  that I’ve been helping throughout the years.  He called me looking to possibly get an engine built.  Of course I was eager to build something for him so we discussed options and narrowed in on what could be done for his needs.  He had a severe deadline which sort of had me worried but everything was contingent on his decision that had to be made by that following Monday.  Monday came and he pulled the trigger to have a full short block assembly made.  I was sweating bullets to get him this block done and it came together without issue and done actually a little early.  Knowing what this short block was capable of, I certainly had no idea what his final plans were (turbos etc) till after he came and picked up the engine but knew what type of power he was aiming for.    Fast forward a week later and I called to check in with him to see how the progress was going with the rest of his assembly.

Things were going together as planned.  He was anxious to get things up and going for the up and coming dyno day he was scheduled for.  Everything installed and running smoothly, he pulled up on the dyno and pushed out a whopping 789RWHP / 950BHP!  WOW… I got a call from my Petar after he had gotten tuned and he was very excited that he just put down this type of power.  I sat back and was in awe that something I just built with good parts and a solid attention to detail just put down an obscene amount of power.  I mean as an engine builder you build your outfits to handle the power (and some) but it put my modifications to the test and it shined the entire rev band.  It makes me happy that I can see my assemblies work like this especially when I have customers as excited as I get when I get the news.

My hat goes off to you Petar!  Have fun and be safe out there!
