Assuming some of them haven't made themselves obvious already....
From the ad:
Number of Cylinders: 8
Engine: 3.6L H6 SFI DOHC
Maybe the supercharger adds two more cylinders.
Just as an exercise in internet forum guess work,
Assuming this engine had Nickies, JE pistons, IMS Solution, LNE h-beam rods, what do you guys think would be the first "weak link" to show it's self??
EDIT:: This is just a census, don't be afraid to give your opinion, there are no
wrong
answers.
That's a good one. Better than any

I've heard.
I'm going to guess, that your guess is going to be a lot better than mine. But I'll go with a real simple one - the AOS. Won't disable the engine if caught and managed, but it isn't on your list.
Oh, and I have reason to have that damn thing on my mind.
You will want to make an assumption on the adaptability of the engine management system. If it can compensate for the fuel/ air demands, then it would seem to be rather stout. Otherwise, you will have a lean condition that
will find that weak link
. Let's assume that it has been tuned properly (though doubtful).
I like it.
When I read the title and then opened the link I expected to see ugly body kits, weird accessories and odd colours - looks okay aside from the supercharger!
Porschetech3 i'd say the first thing to go given we're factoring in those upgrades - would be... the timing chains?
Found this little tidbit:
What?
It does have the much sought-after three spoke steering wheel though. I'll be putting my bid in soon.
Oh - has anyone heard of: ECO Motorsports (in MD)?
