ok well here i am. i have had a very crappy few weeks. i will make a long story short. i been out of the game for nearly 7 months due to last year i broke the trans. ''4th gear broke'' so i finally got around to fixing the car. i had a full trans rebuild with some of my own options added, i had a new clutch installed and had the transfer case also rebuilt and added a Quaife lsd.

i pick the car up from the shop last friday ''june 26, 09'' and drove it home. it was great to be back in the seat again that was for sure. the trans and clutch felt awesome. i was so happy i got my car back. all that was left was to brake it in and go to the track. i couldent wait.

then sat morning roles by and its summer nationals at e'town race way and i promised Geoff ''my great friend and snail provider'' that i would show my car in his booth since i could not run. well on my way down there Saturday morning it happened. the motor pooped. through a rod through the block and that was it. here is the best part. i beet the hell out of this car and it never missed a beat on me ever. till the trans broke. here i am in 5th gear 65ish mph not even boosting the car blasting some MJ ''r.i.p. MJ'' and it broke. we was in traffic no less. i don't get it. maybe these cars need to be smacked around every time we drive them.

anyways 7 months of down time and then not even 12 hours later im back to the garage sitting broken down. such great luck.

here is my reason for this thread. another long story short the crank on the car looks perfect to the eye. its being sent out to make sure its true/straight. if it is i have a great person giving me a perfect 4g64 block for free. so that saves me some cash right there. if the crank is bad then i am most likely going to buy a full 2.0L rotating assembly and have this thread removed as i will just keep the car 2.0l. but if the crank is good i can buy a 2.0L block or do the 2.1L setup. with that said im looking for people who have 2.0 AND 2.1L experience. i need a run down of pro's and con's of the 2.1L what setups others are using in there 2.1L motor and how its working out. also post the mods and power output of the car. and how you treat the car. i use my car hard VERY hard on the streets and drag race it on the weekends when its nice out. in other words a true street driven machine. power output of the car after this build will be over 700hp.

also looking for hard data of 2.0 and 2.1L trq curve comparisons and same for HP. so with all that said HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPP so i can start buying stuff. haahha.

thanks to thoughs who helped and added some good info. also i want to thank the people who are with me through this hard time i am having. friendship and support mean alot to me and i could probably not handle this without you guys. who know who you are. thanks.
