Not sure, hopefully soon. I made a little change to the setup today so that will push us back a few days.

i think 3.6 has lower compression ratio if you plan to do FI

I dont know what the CR is for the 3.5, but the 3.6 is 10.9:1 IIRC.

I havent seen any dyno graphs with the same mods, so its hard to say what the power difference is. The 3.6 obviously has more torque.

There are also alot of other factors that play like cams, head porting, a bit of combustion chamber work, ect....

Running a 3.6 or 3.6 without well ported heads would lose 20-30WHP easy

I'm not sure there is that much a difference and if there is, it could be made up with driver mod.

Although, If I were to build all over again I would definately build me a 3.6 for boost.

still should be exactly the same as a 3.2, or whatever wles those pistons are suppose to do, so for the RL pistons 11.0:1 and the orginal Type-S pistons at 10.5:1
since the bore is never actually changed (except for the slight oversizing needed for cleaning up the walls and such)

the combustion chamber size can easily change the static/mathamatically speaking CR (for the others out there), but yes the dynamic/running CR easily changes with everything else affecting it

Truth is, as of right now, Im not 100% sure. I have a short attention span, so if something is no longer working for me in the car Im ripping it out and getting something else

Im hoping I can get the intake on before the Raleigh meet which is the 24th, so I can get some miles on it. Ill be hitting the dyno shortly thereafter.

Once I do post graphs, Ill post the mods. Obviously it will be the 3.6, some form of intake and exhaust, and a few little mods

Lol. Most of the stuff Im putting on the car now are things I purchased awhile ago. But the lip kit is something Ive always wanted to do, but only after I finish my other car. Hopefully by October/November Ill be done with that so I can tackle the lip kit and paint. Other then that, I really don't have anything else planned for it.
