While I have been a lurker for a few years now, I in no way consider myself an expert on DSMs. Therefore, I would like to solicit some feedback from those more knowledgable than I about the parts I have chosen. Let me know if you see a part that you think would be better than one of my choices and why you feel that way. Also, please chime in with any additional parts suggestions like, "while you have the transmission out you should also change/upgrade...".
My goal is to build a 2.3l stroker that will be a street/road coarse/autox machine. At this time I am using the T25 turbo until I can afford a proper upgrade. Right now I just want to get the bottom end built and replace/upgrade anything else that should be done while the engine and transmission are out. I plan on running e85 from the start.
