Biggest thing you would gain is the ability to run over 8 grand. That's about it.

Oh, and individual cylinder fueling, but that's not a huge factor in an N/A setup.

Then BS3 would be money wasted. If you have a 98 PCM, just do a 99+ PCM swap, and get yourself HPtuners. You'll spend a fraction of the money, and it'll run just fine.

AAK, have you dynoed your car? I am really interested to see what a solid roller motor RIGHT around your cubic inches makes in power. PM me if needed. Thanks!
