Sorry to thread jack but what kind of numbers can be expected from a 3.2@ to 4.0 conversion if its planned to be a sunny sunday driver. looking for the happy medium between hot rod street and reliability.just wondering if jumping up to 4.0 is worth it vs 3.6-3.8. Thanks...now back to the regularly scheduled thread.

No need in going 4.0 for this application. The cost increase is not worth it.

My 3.6 is plenty, and the 3.8 will blow your mind. The 4.0 package is only worth the added money for those who ned the power for the track and want to chase down GT3s. The owner of this 4.0 has a GT3 RS 4.0 and wanted a pair :-)

Jake, I thought the limit for a 3.2 was 3.6 (using LN nickies)? You can do a 3.8 ?

Thats because thats al thats advertised. Nothing here is standardized, so we can build anything and we do all the time. We have bore sizes that LN only provides to us; thats the benefits of being the exclusive developer of their entire product line since the company was founded.

Flavor987S,
email me at jake@rabyenginedevelopment.com for pricing. I will have a ton of questions for you, because there are tons of variables at these levels.

What about forced induction after 3.6?
... if you really feel like you need that much power
