the audi fits, is cheaper, mates directly to the transmission, and shares common bosch ancestry with Porsche. problem is, the audi will be work to get to 350 hp, and a custom intake manifold (itb manifold no less) can't be cheap ...

I'm pretty interested in the 4.2 because of those reasons above. 350 hp is no slouch either, the hassle to get more HP out of an LSx may not be worth it if this mounts up that easily. How different is the S vs non-S tranny mount? is that part of the issue with starting with non-S?

Be ready to upgrade brakes if you are putting this in a "non-S" as well. I really do feel like, with the good brakes and upgraded tranny, this should start as an S project...
