Default 987.1 3.8 rebuild

Anyone of you have done this? I'd like to hear about your 3.8 build. Reliability, performance gain? Any advice? I am considering this right now with my blown 3.4.

BGB down in Florida a ton of experience with these kinds of builds, including racing a 3.8l cayman in the Daytona 24hrs (won the class...). Call John

Vision Motorsport built a 3.8 for my Cayman S (987.1).

400HP. Very reliable

I had IMS Failure on my 987.1 and I'm currently rebuilding my 3.4 into a 3.8.
