My impression was yes, he was very happy with the end results. (engine was recently destroyed by a spun bearing)

He won at least one national title and many regional titles with that engine pretty much "as is" on the dyno sheet from our recent email exchange. Car was featured on the cover and in an article, in EXCELLENCE several years ago.

Wondered that myself. I have seen it on several stock 3.2s to a lesser extent.

My conclusion was not that CIS out performed the Motec or varioram...but more like "what the hell happened to the advantages of Mortec and Varioram". I would have thought with all the hype on both sytems (and their costs) 5.72% on displacement would have been easy to make up.

IMO the better arguement for a street car would have been the differences in throttle response, not what happens after 6500rpm. and the factory rev limiters.
