Any details on that?


Thanks guys - I knew the Porsche engineers knew how to make a tough block, but I had no idea it could hold that kind of power. What's really amazing is that the 3.0L can take that kind of power, since it has bigger holes than the 2.5L block of the same dimensions!

I'm going to go search for the differences between the 3.0L and 2.5L blocks now - if it's all discussed in the 3.0 forum, don't bother listing them, I'll find out. If it's not that simple let me know.
