Hi RP993
I already have the RSR 200-cell sportcat (100-cell is strictly not allowed in Denmark) and Exhaust from Carnewal, and I would hope to keep those. Thanks for the offer though.
Any input on the 3.8L upgrade would be appreciated!

When 3 respected tuners from the land of the Autobahn are confident that their slip fit piston kits are durable for street use, imo that says a thing or two.
Remember cars get driven very hard in Germany.
As far as cams go either speak to the cam grinders like dougherty or schrick and have them advise you/inform you to decide upon, or be prepared to buy an engine builders' undisclosed cylinder/cam combo....
Also be aware that you need new ECU programming to both suit the increased fueling requirements as well as the increased CR 3.8 litre kits often run with ( 11.7: 1). A change of cams adding further to the mix. Unless you have access to a very experienced dyno operator I would stick with a well developed kit of P/C, cams and Chip/engine management. Just my 2C.
