your 317's are they stock? what PSI are you running at?

not sure how true this is but i saw on another site i'm on that sunset racecraft are actually the ones who build the engines you get from texas-speed and scoggin dickey, so in other words they are a distribution centers just going off what i was told

My 317's are ported/polished, stainless valves, dual springs, and titanium retainers. I see 10#'s of boost max right now, should be in the 14-15 #'s with the pully swaping.

We are not distribution centers for another builder's shortblocks. We both use the same elite machine shop (one of THE top machine shops in the country) but that is the only connections. The machine shop prepares and assembles our shortblocks to our individually supplied specs with our supplied parts. We do not buy and resell another shop's shortblocks as our own, we have our own custom shortblocks assembled by one of the best machine shops in the country in order to provide the best possible product to our customers.

Never bought a motor from them, but what I have bought from them I have loved! Good prices and service if you go about it the right way!
