Eric built me a 418W the end of last year and delivered it on December 1. I wasn't able to start driving it until mid-March, but I've put on a little over 6000 miles since then, including a 3000 mile round trip to Albuquerque, NM.
We spent hours discussing this motor on two separate occasions before I decided to have him build it and Eric was very patient, answered all my questions and made a few suggestions to help me get just what I wanted. This motor is slightly detuned from his standard 535 HP version and produced 499 HP on the Performance Engineering dyno. The amazing thing, though, is how tractable it is. I can putt through town in fourth gear at 30 MPH with no bucking or spitting or loping and then just accelerate away. It still makes gobs of power and seems to me to be the ideal motor for a wicked fast, fun-to-drive car. I've not had a bit of trouble with it and it starts right up and runs fine on pump gas.
I'm very pleased with Eric's motor and the way he does business. If anyone is considering one of Eric's motors, I'd be glad to answer emails with specific questions.
