Yes

Just out of curiosity... why did you decide on the AMS10 > the AMS12? I know the 12 is a little bit more of a true race engine but i believe it could be tuned down for streetable purposes correct?

It cost a lot more since it comes with a larger bore block 3.8>4.0, CNC heads, and a slightly larger turbo. Yes, it's just as streetable.

Yes. I want be able to make use of all the power since my fuel system will be a limitation. E85 requires about 30% more fuel over say 93 or MS109. I will have a high boost tune for MS109.
Shep tells me I should get the tranny back early next week and I'm moving along pretty well on the engine build. I want to give a shout out to Ritchie Griffin for helping me build this engine!
Checking the rod bolt stretch
