Yep, and I'm trying to help by correcting some misinformation you might have been told by whomever you sent it to. I'd strongly suggest you get this cleared up so that you know for sure what you're paying for...

I also mentioned it because an 88mm overbore will weaken the cylinder walls (depending on how much boost & nos you're running). You need to be aware of this and ensure the shop takes full responsibility if your cylinder walls crack when you try to run in the 9s...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
