Okay, first I'll admit I did not search this topic. But, you will excuse me because of my excitement in just returning from a test drive in the 2002 S I acquired that had a totally destroyed IMS bearing. I swapped the engine with a low mile (new IMS bearing installed, etc.) and this car frigging flies. I've driven other S models of this vintage and there is no comparison.

I already put another car on the lift, so I can't confirm that this is in fact a 3.2, but I suspect the added kick in the pants is a result of a chip or programming. How can I tell? And, how can I duplicate the program.

Seriously, this car is so fast, it can't be stock. Help me figure out what I have here.

Thanks in advance,
Joe
