I live on an island and stock power is plenty enough for me, so 3.6 bumped to 3.8 with more torque sounds just right.
I figured I can't go wrong with the price I paid for entry to the 996 world... I still have a low mile good running (knock on wood) motor to sell that might help someone else next year.
Oh it will have more than "stock power"! HP and torque becomes a different story with a Jake engine.
I get that and am very excited to be able to finally have this done. It was always part of the original plan and is happening sooner than I expected.
Now I have to deal with all the other kids calling me names... :lol:
