For me they have the right idea extracting the most from the original. Just a question, does anybody know off hand how much the 3S-GTE weighs over the GTS engine or is it around the same?

I thought the hotchkis article in the super street was pretty good. And i just bought the HCI tonight, and i am getting ready to read that article.
