Yes, I read the GoWesty news. They are claiming the new 2.7 Liter WBX will produce 162 hp and 197 ft-lbs with 91 octane fuel. They don't say what engine rpm those numbers are achieved. No mention of its effect on stock drive train components either.

I'm more interested in the new engine management system, but it is rumored to be priced at $3000! 

We will see what develops.
