Has anyone looked into this? Monkeywrenchracing.com has a kit available that includes a set of Weisco Forged Pistons and Darton Sleeves that'll punch the bore up to 82.0 mm...with your choice of 8.8:1 or 11.0:1 compression ratios. Also available are Crower billet connecting rods. The kit itself is $879.00 on their site. Sounds like a great idea to me...anyone else have any thoughts?

Sounds good to me. Like they say, there is no substitute for cubic inches.

That's exactly what I mean, or how about 'bigger is better'. I wish Pontiac would offer, as an option, their 3.8L Series II v6 (with the huffer of coarse) in the Vibe.

If only I had the money... Imagine those pistons and compression @ 11.0:1 with the s/c at 10psi!!Course, then you'd need a new tranny, drive shafts, and lsd.Maybe next years tax return.
