You need a 3.6 crankshaft & carrier & rods & LN pistons. For anything more stressful than auto crossing I would insist upon aftermarket rods. 3.8+ will have LOTS of low rpm torque, enough to increase autocross times.Peak HP I would guess would increase 8-12% depending on head work & bolt-on external parts.
