Default Sharkwerks' 4.1


It's been well over a year that I have posted here. I bought Jenks' car 5 years ago and added another 50 track days. Ironically, I blew up engine on my way to my daughter's soccer game, lol.

Alex, James, and Dan were able to preserve the case and worked in their 4.1 magic. Damn, it's fantastic. Cheers!

Grey Black is so pretty sans graphics. The std engine blew, right? And then you sent it to get Sharkafied? Would love to hear your thoughts on how different the 4.1 is to the 3.8!

Right. Stock engine blew. The download torque is very noticeable over stock and it screams to new 8800 redline. 2nd/3rd gear canyon runs have been very enjoyable :-)

Ha! Not for now :-)

Cayman will have to do.

This should please you given that it's easily a 43 at Sears now

Mind sharing how the stock motor blew? Sharky 4.1 is the ultimate though!
