Some of "Tuning" is related to classic hotrodding.. Its the modern version of manipulation.

Any engine/ car can be made "Higher Performance" through manipulation and outside the box thinking.

The M96 is an excellent engine to "Hotrod" because the factory imposed some constraints on the engine for mass manufacturing and time/ money conservation and to allow the engine platform to grow for over a decade before being phased out. This is the reason why our gains with earlier engines are so dramatic over their factory output.

As you can see below, it is possible to "Hotrod" the M96 to get real power increases... This wasn't done with modern "Tuning" as much as classic hotrodding.. This is the same engine before and after being transformed from a 3.2 to a 3.6 big bore built from the same base engine.
