3.2 heads can and will meet the demands, but all you'll end up using are the castings. 3 chain heads from an M96.24 are much better than 5 chain M96.21 heads, in every way.

All the work, and components for the heads alone are around 5,500.00-6,000.00

Timing alterations are required, too.
Jake: if you have a choice (similar cost) which route would you choose, BTW my car (CS '07) has a 3.4 M97.21

a) My 3.4 with 3.8 LN Nickies and forged rods. Q: Is the stock 3.4 crank strong enough? Would the cylinder walls be too thin & risk overheating?

b) A 3.8 from a Carrera S with LN Nickies and forged rods? But have to deal with the DME change and key programming etc.,
