thanks jake. my $4k to $15k comparison wasn't fair, as one price doesn't include labour and one (yours) does. as well, i fully realise that your engines also have reliabilty modications (ims, low temp tstat, billet chain tensioner, etc.) that increase overall cost.

good to hear that no fuel delivery/air intake revisions are required.

am i correct in assuming that the drawbacks to a 'bore only' change that you list (heat, poor mpg, narrow powerband) are all related to valve/cam operation? if so, then can i consider a valve job and cam grind necessary mods to accompany a bore change?

thanks jake, and i think we are all loooking forward to seeing your 3.2L mods up on your webpage (as well as your UDP!). TRK.
