3.2L Euro upgrade... or not?
To do it or not? What are the pros and cons?
Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks all.

I asked the same question, here is the link to that thread. Pretty much covers why you don't gain much due to the quality of fuel. Carrera Rebuild 10.3 Pistons & Cylinders
I ended up going to 3.4 with 9.5:1 compression.

Thanks Michael...
Lots of good info on that thread.... thanks! It's hard to believe that with all the experience out there, it still seems like the issue is still in debate! There are ROW cars in the U.S. running a variety of octanes that seem to be running okay... but the risks appear to be high and may have a tendency to reduce engine life without knowing it. I respect the thoughts of Henry Schmidt, Steve W., etc and others not listed who do this day in a day out. Thanks to the others who have PM'd me.
