Default Shaner S2 or S3?

Hey guys! I want to get my TB ported and polished and I heard Shaner does awesome work. I just don't know which to go with, S2 or S3? I have a 2001 WS6 M6, I heard the S3 would be good on 6 speed cars and highway pulls, but which would be better for me? I would have Jet Hot LTs, catted Y Pipe, Hotcam, and ASP pulley to go along with it. Thanks!

i emailed them with the same question, and they basically told me that the s2 is better for the track, while the s3 is better for racing from a roll. he told me that if nitrous or any other power adder is used, he recommends the s3.

I have the Shaner S3. It works really well. Especially on the street. I have a 6 speed.

What is the difference between the S2 and S3? Are there any new tricks to porting a T.B. that shaner came out with?

I ported mine, but if there is any way to improve upon it further, then do tell.

Try his site it has some good pics. No real explanation though on the difference between the S3 and S2, and they are listed as the same price.
