They say you can go up to a 4.3. They also have a bunch of new parts for the 4.0, including heads, head studs, cams and forged pistons!

Supersix doesnt know if they are coming or going. I wouldnt trust them with my car at all. On the first link they tell us everything wrong with the 4.0 heads and all the problems we will have with them. On the second link they tell us how much they like the 4.0 heads.

Which is it dude, you like them or you dont?

I think thier prices are pretty steep also.

For less money than a stroker, we can transplant a 4.6.

I think it is good to know that our 4.0 can be stroked, though. Not planning on doing it myself, but who knows? Minds have been known to change...

Supersix does seem to vacillate, but they did not specifically say that they did not like the 4.0, just that they noticed some weaknesses. Of course, they are selling a product, and thus I am skeptical of whatever they say. But their cars are impressive, they are knowledgeable, and I am sure that everything they say is not false.

Sorry, weekend was taken up analyzing invasion of privacy law...writing style bled over... Man, first semester of Law School and I already sound like a fricking lawyer....
