3S, imo, is more of a quality motor. The forged internals, easier power gain, ect.

[right][snapback]243010[/snapback][/right] What makes you think the stock 3sgte has forged internals? -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
