Oh yes, very doable. It takes a lot of time to do the job and one bolt in the intake runner you have to remove is a complete PITA to get to. With all my mods on the stock tune I'm up 30 HP when I use an online calculator with my 0 to 60 MPH time, car weight and auto trans. Allowing the 3.2 to breath better wakes this engine up big time. I just don't know how a 2.7 will fair with these mods and I don't think a complete air intake upgrade would get you 20 HP extra. Maybe someone with a 2.7 that has done this mod will chime in.
