    I didn't know the 355 had a power issue...but I would love to se someone wedge a 12 cylinder in there!

    The 512TR engine in a 348 is what I am talking about. If you had that, there's almost nothing that would touch you. 428Hp, 362 lb.ft. torque. Our 348's would scream until they tore themselves apart. ;)

    The cost of that swap would not be worth the 100 hp gain.

    The 348/355 power issue.

    A) there is no way to make these cars put out as much power as <say> a Vette.
    B) in my opinion, such power is not necessary to have a good/grand/great time.

    Map it
    Chip it
    Free flow exhaust it
    Cat delete it
    Intake it.
    GCK it

    That's all you need to do.

    Turbo it is the only other option and IMHO you will lose the 355 feel.
