I have not done the IMS upgrade because I now love the idea that I have a ticking time bomb of a motor and can't wait for it to implode on me.

That's the only way the wife will say, "what's it gonna cost to get the motor replaced?" to which I will reply, "Honey, it won't be cheap. It might be $15k or more."

Which will pay for a motor swap and rid me of the underpowered 2.5 in my 1997 and replace it with a 3.4, 3.6, or even 3.8!!!
