[Shotimes] When did we last discuss 3.4 > MTX?

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

How much TQ would a 4.0l GenIII motor produce?  If stock it is ~230ft/lbs
then the rule of 8-10 ft/lbs per 0.1 liter of displacement equates to ~48 to
60 ft/lbs increase (280 to 290).  Tell me that other mods applied to
complement that bore mod won't increase that approx. TQ number!

The MTX IV starts to have internal problems with gears breaking when the TQ
gets above a certain level when the thing is driven/shifted hard.  Maybe I'd
go with a FPS ATX!

And the further away from an AX4N the better.
