Dave, don't you have a 4.2, 3.6 chipped ECU, etc...you
my friend are over 300hp!
 No need for radical AEMS. 
All & everything is available..at a price, of course
;-)

 As far as the "space-age" polymer finish, & kablooie
..I think Javad knows what he's doing! & wouldn't
jeopardize any ones motors!

 YES we know (I know) & have posted the specs for
stock cams..3.6 & 4.2. & I all so have the regrind #'s
for both. Just as you say...we need to get 5 listers
or so together at the same time who wants more than
the stock motors have now.
But I can ask Javad for "special" consideration for a
small GB of parts, & cam grinds.

 & haven't you seen Mark W's V8?/ he's got the same
cams that you would get..but at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower
price!

 & as far as putting an ABZ motor in our
cars....Pffffff, my minds set on blowing everyone
away. No more talk of a ABH 4.2 motor...I'm going to
be the "guinea pig" for a crazy motor swap.
 Rs6 4.2 twin turbo Buw, muwhahahaahhhahahaaaaaaa!

 If no ones interested Dave, I'll shoot you the cam
spec #'s & you can have the grinds done by whoever you
like.
