If it transpires that the thread has been removed due to a "no advertising" rule then I'm off.

That thread had a *ton* of valuable information for anyone considering the 4.3 upgrade (almost everyone having an engine rebuild will entertain the idea)

I`m just lucky I re-read most of it just before it went awol..

i guess this is going to turn into the old thread as it looks like it's been flushed down the haymarket bog.

i wanted to know whether once an engine is converted from stock (3.6) to 4.3, would it be 'blower ready'? or would the addition of one require significant rework of the already reworked engine?

I would guess it might need the compression ratio altered.

Would be great if it was just a bolt on upgrade I would think that ultimatly that would be Dom's goal.

Mmmmm 4.3 Tamora has a certain ring to it.

No point in speculating.All the Mods have too is let us all know why it went and if it will be back.
Not a big ask really.

I have to agree the difference is amazing so much torque, much smoother acceleartion.

lost the banshee like wail of the speed six frown but gained a much deeper thunderous roar smile

Absolutely aesome I did my 1000miles running in driving from Power to Salcombe then up to North wales several laps of the EVO triangle and back to Cov all over a five day period.

I will be over for the Thunder in the Tunnels run on 22nd November looking at possibly popping my track day cherry on the Saturday to really see what she can do.

Nothing much else planned in the UK at the moment but should that change I will let you know

I only need half an excuse and I will be over.
