2.7 Mahle P&C's

I "think" I read a few months ago that Mahle had introduced a 2.7 Sport package of P&C's that bumps the compression up above RS spec P&C's and is pretty reasonably priced as well. I have seached the archives with no luck. Does anyone remember that thread and / or have experience with the product?

Thanks,

Hal-
I think they have a set that is 9.5:1 when using a 70.4mm crank. I think that these run about $2700. They also have a 10.5:1 set that is $2900. Both of these, of course, are for use with carbs or MFI. These prices are from Andial about a year ago, and are based on my questionable memory. I'd call them and perhaps Brumos to see. For my motor I think I'm going to use JEs with reconditioned cylinders. I think this will cost about $2200. I need to find high compression pistons due to the fact that I'm using my 66mm crank. Otherwise, I'd just use the Euro RS set from Mahle (8.5:1) that can be had for around $1400. In a 2.7, I don't think the extra compression is worth it, unless cost is no object. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Thanks Scott for the info. Euro RS's are what I have been thinking about and your comments are much appreciated.

BTW, does Pelican carry the EuroRS set? I see the Euro S, but not the RS.
