I wish all. I hear that when your motor comes back from arrow it is much stronger than before.

After an Arrow rebuild my engine felt soft for the first 1000 miles and then from 1000-2000 miles it just kept getting stronger. Now I think now it is a little stronger than before the rebuild.

I'll let you know how strong the rebuild is, next spring! Engine just got back but, it is put away time for snakes here in Western Michigan. Engine probably won't go back into the snake until late March, early April now. Car is in our heated garage, but the engine is at the dealership, and the forcast is snow until at least New Years day (mostly flurries, but about a foot on the ground now.) Our garage becomes inaccessable when it snows, so that's why it'll have to wait till spring now.
To answer the specific question as to rebuilds, does anybody really know the percentage that go back for rebuild? I don't think it is very high, but how can this information be obtained?

Roland... call Jon B. at PartsRack (360-837-3937). He always seems to be "in the know" on these types of questions.

Our engine went at 1421 miles. Never Dyno'ed the old engine so I can only go by the "ole seat of the pants" dyno. The old engine had a couple or three liners too low and thus allowed anti-freeze to seep into the cylinder(s). It was only noticed when parked for a week or two and got to around 50 degrees in the garage. The worst liner was .004 inch low. We chose the Arrow rebuild route and now have only 4100 miles on the car. IF IT BLEW TODAY,,,,,,,,,,, we would want another Arrow rebuild. If the warranty is gone when that should happen, then I'll do it myself, but until then......
The ole 'pants' dyno sez the car is noticibly quicker. Ran it at VIR 2001, turned 2.22 laps and the car was PURE stock. Left a little time on the track because I ran stock brake pads. After over a 100 laps (Friday,Sat and Sun), it came home with 60 to 75% pads left on the factory set. Very conservative with the brakes as didn't want to discolor the white 'Viper" on the calipers.
We will Dyno sometime in the future, most likely when the NC VCA does it.
Good luck
