Message	Or performance, I've heard it can be bored out to 4.0L, while on a stock VG30 your pushing the limit at 3.5L, even stroked. Sort of like a DART block for Drag Racing. As for the heads, they are ported larger, according to Carlos. I've only seen one of these imfamous motors, I'd like to take a closer look at one. SoS, read the entire thread you might learn something.
