Re: 96mm over bore

Yeah it pulls awesome in the race car and had no issues in the bores or with heat (do run methanol though)
Im rebuilding an NG Pajero as full time drive car for business and pleasure and i want that bit more grunt. Hmm maybe back to the drawing board to find another solution.

Thanks for that.

Thats great info.
Yeah im putting in a high comp methanol holley 2.6 so im hoping to have 150+rwhp and plenty of torque.
As a side note that is important in this discussion i suppose.
