Hmmm, same motors (except the HC pistons), except one is dangerously (???) compromised by running more advance than what it ran coming from the factory.

That's a head-scratcher, for sure.

No. More like a head-shaker.
don't shake your head too hard, i have trouble following your instructions that way.......

i am not expert to be sure, but the euro 3.0 & 3.2 had higher domed pistons that created the the higher compression. rothsport makes a repro of both euro pistions for new applications, which are legal in the spec class i compete in.. these are considered a "stock" according to the rules. http://rothsport-racing.com/Products/Engine/Internal-Components/Internal-Components-95mm-Pistons.htm

are the euro cams or timing different than the US cars, 3.0 & 3.2?
