[Shotimes] 3.2 swap into a MTX

[Ian Fisher]

I always figured that a performance gain was a benefit and therefore a
notable difference? :)

You get more hp and tq across the band. The more displacement you can
work with, the better.

BTW, my friend is thinking of selling his 3.2 that he's had in his 95
mtx for about a year. He is dead serious about his turbo SHO project
having collected two turbos, an IC, a disassembled 3.2 short block
including JE LC pistons and much more.

What are the benifits of doing this?  Obviously
performance gains, but what are the notable
differences?  Benefits?  ie.  better to mod a 3.2?  
or better modding a 3.0?  

Are their any cons to this procedure?  

Thanks.. :)
