Umm... OK. I'm leaning towards ordering an AER 3L long block right now.
Keith says he's going to provide me with two SCT XCal tunes:
The conservative tune should make about 340 HP on 91 octane for daily driving.
The aggressive tune will potentially make 430 Hp (or greater) - based on his past experience with similar combinations.
With an AER or similarly stout block, I'll be willing to push it hard on the dyno for bragging rights if nothing else.
Bottom line is this thing will be a blast to drive.
I'm not firmly locked into the AER 3L route. I know there are some truly excellent Duratec engine builders who frequent CEG.
