I completely agree that someone should make a kit for the L27'*, but it probably isn't gonna happen in the near future, if ever...unfortunately.

I have seen L36 rods, they look pretty beefy for a NA'd V6, same goes for the L27'* and LN3'*... But how well would the rods, pistons and wrist pins hold up, and the same would go for the tranny...

the higher gear ratio (3.06) and compression (9.4) make the L36 a beast with any SC or turbo. The GP guy ran a 14.3 with the kit.
