    So are you switching to a L36 block?

    Is your L67 broken? I'd stay L67 untill it blew up.

    Dont forget you'll need modded fuel rails and upgraded injectors, preferably not 42.5's. And a trans soon after.

    weaker rods.

    weaker pistons.

    ya know, durability concerns.

    Will it ever become a problem? who knows.

    Change the title of your thread.

    Faster though first and second, then it'll suck in third.

    Also makes traction in first more difficult.

    With 2.93's highway pulls are better.

    I've seen one. A guy on clubgp has a turbo'd park ave, it runs 12's all day. Cool build though, but I have to agree with others. If you can, try and stick with an L67/L32 block, you'll thank us all later. There have been way to many people who have gone to an L26/L36 block and have popped pistons from not dialing in the tune properly and due to the weaker internals, they've broke pretty quick.

    1998 Intrigue - L32, Built Trans, Heads, S1X + 1.8's, Gen V (2.9"), IC, N*, Headers, Catback
    2008 G8 GT - Intake + HSRK, Kooks LT's, Catback, 3.27's
