While this sound great for the small price to pay. However, I am not really sure if that is the right way to do it, simply because besides your HP and TORQUE, have you ever thought about the more power and torque would put more stress to the 2100 transmission? Is this the reason why the 340HP engine came with the larger transmission ie 2500 instead of 2100?
I may be wrong, but would that be the principle?
