I guess I have to ask why would you even have Lynn or BES build this engine anyway? I mean aside from buying the heads and intake from Lynn why would you have someplace half way across the US build it? Maybe I am just a weirdo, but from what I have seen from BES and Lynn, the bulk of their business isn't Turbo,big inch, fuel injected, Pontiacs. I personally would have chose Butler and/or someplace with turbo experience. Even at this stage if it was together you would still need a tune and the rest of the components for it. And your probably tired of hearing this but good luck with your build. Your experience is unfortunate.

Assurances were given in the very beginning and BES supposedly produced quality work.
And, Yes, in hindsight it could have been built at the beach in the sand by an inexperienced child and it would have turned out better.

BES had a stellar reputation, I assumed if Tony was responsible for picking parts, machine work, assembly and dyno testing, I’d be in really good hands. Everyone involved knew the design goal was 1600HP on pump gas. Everyone involved was sent the Turbonetics turbo sizing assumptions dated 2-11-2-11. “Let me know if you want me to post them again” There was also mention that Holley was interested in coming onsite to help with the dyno tune. Obviously after seeing what was being used for rockers, Tony didn’t pick all the parts.
