Can anyone tell me: if I bite the bullet and upgrade from my 3.2 stock S engine to a 996 or Raby build engine with another 75 hp, am I going to need to go wider than 9"rears to get the power to the ground? As it is, I have PSM with virtually no spin, which I think would continue but perhaps with underutilization of the extra hp. Thanks for any informed insight.
