Understood....I know a world challenge racer who went through 10 M97 engines in about 4 seasons. I never really am able to get much out of him regarding his mods unless specifically ask and point out things....he had a wicked blown oil cooler set up on top of the engine...etc. Too many sustained high revs and cylinder scoring trying to keep up with camaros and mustangs were all I got of him.

That is very interesting that you felt increased power down low.....this is what I am looking for at the moment.

So I will put this out there: Will the GT3 TB at 82mm and the completion plenum be good for a 3.2?? Obviously, this would be no bueno with out the IPD splitter design. This would also future proof the "equipment" should a 3.2 turn into a 3.6 in the future.

That's why I shift at 6K rpm. Redline runs stretch the rod bolts resulting in rod bearing failures. At 6K, you're already past peak torque so no need to venture higher.
