Good luck with the build. The only person I know that has done larger sleves in a Gen2 motor would be JH.
If I remember right didn't your car make over 600rwhp N/A....I seem to remember someone did, and I thought it was you.
Did you pick up any power by P&P the intake mani? I'm thinking that will be my next mod....along with a good intake and lager TB.
