You redid the under drive pulley and wheel? Why did you upgrade it? What does it do? I lack knowledge in this area. Thanks for any help!!

Lighter and smaller easier to turn requiring less HP to turn. |

Lighter and smaller easier to turn requiring less HP to turn. So the difference is minimal? Does it make it safer when raising the Rev limiter? |

I see 3.6 motors making just as much power if not more .... So other then the cool factor is there any other reason to do a 3.8?
Mine is from FVD/Mahle, I see Todd uses another brand on Ali's and Dave's pictures but I believe their liners are ductile as well. The 5% displacement gain is not all, the little lower CR allows a little more boost before knocking, and more power. |

The fact the 3,8 kit I bolt was fitted with ductile liners was more important than the gain to 3,746cc.

Isn't there also the downfall of going 3.8l since the sleeves will be thinner and won't last as long and can be prone to cracking?? |
Please bring this to Byblos this summer!

In most cases,,a larger engine will have better throttle response and more power off boost And IF IT CAN get feed enough it will make more power on the same boost levels..
That being said, to the OP. I think you will be extremely happy regardless. Enjoy! |
Yes it all boils down to how much does some want to give up or Pay for that little extra power. . LOL
How many have pushed their projects from a reliable Street car to a weekend warrior only? |

Vagscum have you seen someone wear out a forged 996tt motor? Forged piston ductile iron liners I mean.
