I sure hope it's still running after 3,300 miles.

I think you'll find that there are several people in NorCal that had Karack build their motors and you won't find one unhappy customer. He does top notch work and great prices. There is a faded blue TII in Santa Rosa and Karack built that motor too.

Chris Greene is also a great build and he's in Sacramento. You can't go wrong either way if you ask me.

Glad to hear it Ben.

RX7allnight, you made a good choice. There aren't many rotary mechs as good as Karack around. He's in the top 5% in the country!

Anyone got contact info for this guy? Is he strictly rebuild or is he a performance guy as well? Sorry...new to te forum and havent owned and FC for a while. Just recently got one and trying to catch up on whats new.

My motor runs great, but Im looking for a Rotary God in the area. Im looking at upgrading my Turbo and want someone who strictly only works on Rotary to do my build. Unless my motor blows from now until I purchase my turbo...then and only then will I decide to port and do all the goodies.

I need some advice on a good build...maybe with the HP I want, I might need to port.

Looking for 350 - 450 HP...any # in that range will be fine with me. To top it off...Im daily driving this car. My real car is a truck...that alone is a project in a half. Both are # 1...and to be honest, not sure if my car gets better gas mileage than my truck. LOL

Contact info for karack would be great. Does he have a shop? Name?
