    Ryan at Allpro contact us when he had an engine failure, he had a forged piston engine in the car already but the cylinder wall let go in an all to familar fashion. Something we have seen more of since the introduction of the 704 casting.

    Ryan wanted something bullet proof that he could run at the track as well as drive on the street. After several discussions on what his ultimate goals were and what kind of power he wanted to make we came up with a engine that we thought would suit his needs.

    What we ended up building for Ryan is our Track 1 engine package, it represents what we consider to be an incredible value for a track engine.

    Here are the Basic Specs

    Ball Racing Track 1 Short Block
    B.R.E.D Pistons
    B.R.E.D Rods
    King Race Bearings
    New Subaru OEM crank
    New Subaru OEM Case Bolts
    12 point Oil Passage Modification
    Pinning of the deck to stabilize cylinder walls
    O-Ringed Deck (specific height designed to work with OEM MLS headgaskets)
    Ceramic Coating on Pistons

    Ball Racing Track 1 Head Package
    Ferrea 1mm oversize valves
    GSC Beehive Springs and Retainers
    GSC S1 Cams
    Track 1 Porting Package
    Opening Seats to accomadate +1mm valves
    Full Valve Job
    Surfacing Heads
    New OEM valve Stem Seals
    Setting Valve Lash
    Ceramic Coating of Combustion Chamber, Valves, and Exhaust Ports

    The white powder coated intake manifold on this car really sets off the engine bay.

    The car even looks fast sitting still.

    The guys at Allpro have really stepped it up with this build. Its an impressive display of what they can do and we look forward to working with them more in the future.

    Matt I do have a question about pinning the block in the manner that you have. While it is not inflammatory in any way I would be happy to pm the question if you prefer?

    Feel free to PM me if you like Mike.

    Its less about overall strength and more about stabilizing the cylinder at the top. When we have a customer that wants to exceed what we would consider a safe limit for this setup then we recommend one of our sleeved engines.

    We recommend sleeving for anything over 550whp.

    What kind of fuel lines and fuel rail did he use?

    I used the AP topfeed fuel rails and their lines. I was kind of skeptical about them at first but they actually worked just fine. The only thing that leaked was the set screw in the back of the block for an aftermarket FPR. Just cellophane taped it and it was good to go.

    Ball did a killer job on the motor and I couldn't be any happier with it and I'm sure those 2 people will be too. The turn around time was super quick! The motor is buttery smooth and the power curve is unreal now!

    Thanks to Doug over at TS for the great tune!

    Lawl.


    Georgia vs. Ga Tech and Clemson vs. South Carolina. Do you really think I made it through those two games without drinking? Yeah, some people still have a grasp on the English language when drunk.

    I think the photographs are a great touch to show the level of focus you continue to devote to your builds and your customers :)

    |_____________________*____|
    |_________________*________|--------400
    |_______________*__________|
    |_____________*____________|--------300
    |___________*______________| -HP-
    |_________*________________|--------200
    |_______*__________________|
    |_____*____________________|--------100
    |___*______________________|
    |__*_______________________|
    ....
    2k....3k....4k....5k....6k....7k
    ------------RPM------------
