You can! Get 6 (six) custom ultra-light pistons machined out of titanium (e.g. the flat piston style, F1 tech, same as in the GT3), and get a tuner to design/machine you a set of cams with tad rounder/longuer intake lobes. If you have the cash, you could also get your crank re-machined and ballanced for the flat 6. Custom mapping and all, big big roars

A small and modest $20,000~$30,000 mod (350~400bhp)!

Horses are not cheap these days mate. Hence the higher price on those upper Pcars models.
