just wanted to add this little bit of info...

"A gen3 3S-GTE is no better a platform with which to make big power than a gen2. Although the gen3 produces more power in its stock configuration, all of that power comes from simple improvements that can be applied to a gen2 engine. Once you reach about 300rwhp, the playing field is essentially level."

I think this quote is true but misleading. I would bet that less than 1% of 3sgte owners run in excess of 300whp. Thus, for those of us driving cars with BPU, the gen III is the superior choice for power, safety and reliability.
