Mind sharing what a typical rebuild for this BSR racing typically runs?
As in you don't need to tell us what HRG charged you.

Whatever it is, I'm sure this is the most cost-effective (if such a term can be used in racing) series of racing any Porsche.


p.s.
My butt dyno, mostly on the low end, has always told me that that I've lost 10-20 hp over the years.
So it was interesting that your telemetry here show something similar'ish.
Makes me feel better about the expense of lighter wheels and seats and some aftermarket headers/exhaust. well maybe just a little bit.

$15K+ depending on the shop and how many engine parts were damaged when it stopped running.

This is the high-end approach with everything new. There is no reason why a low mileage replacement engine couldn't be sourced and installed at a cost of $8K or so.

In terms of durability, remember that my old engine lasted 89 track days or 3+ years of hard use track time.
