Just out of curiosity how is the displacement increased from 3.2L to 3.6L?
New Crank/pistons/rods/valves etc on the 3.2 engine or by getting a 3.6 engine?
Do all the engine electronics have to be changed out, computer, sensors etc.

hey jaykay - when does the rev limiter cut in with your new tune, and is it a hard or soft limit?

I have yet to bounce off of it as yet. I am not sure what you mean by hard or soft....I would assume it maybe slightly higher with ignition cut out just like the old traction control.
Thinking about it now I think I have always had wheel spin and high revs at the same time so not sure....how the rev limiter behaves. The traction control cuts the ignition or so it sounds

The cylinder liners are replaced using the appropriate L&N nickies product, Flat 6 can build one up to 4.0 litres. Check them out, they have a real good reputation and I found them excellent to work with.

New liners....cool.
Liners, Pistons, Rods, cams?, throttle body, ECU flash.
Probably not as expensive as a whole new engine and the wiring/computer can stay the same.
There is no substitute for displacement and you can never have too much power.
Nice!!!!

I'd be curious to an answer to this as i just ordered my Softronic tune for my S. Have you seen any drawbacks on yours? I finally removed my air restrictor's and decided it was time for the upgrade to take advantage of my mods.

I haven't experienced any noticeable drawbacks. With my by-pass exhaust I started to get more snap crackle and pop.
Generally I felt more liveliness at 4k and above along with better fuel econ. There won't be any earth shattering change; there is the learning curve.
After the learning time I do recall punching it at 4k and feeling the change....now I don't notice much
....have a large TB now so....there is change again
