RE: [T3] FW: Secondary oil cooler

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

Increase the stroke of the engine -- how far the piston travels in and out. 
This also helps low-end torque.  Also by using larger diameter pistons.  I
had
both done to my engine.

If more power is desired cc's aren't always the way to go.  Increasing
compression will boost hp as will turbo and nitrous-oxide systems.  I always
advocate FI, too.

Consult with an experienced and reputable performance engine builder as they
can
be very helpful in determining what's needed to satisfy your desires.
