Let me translate this into English...

So, about a week ago I installed a 3.5 engine, I haven't bothered tuning it because I've been enjoying it for the last 250 miles or so and working out the bugs. Car feels different and alive and I need to relearn how to drive and race it.

Does anyone have suggestions for mods? I think the last 2 bolt ons I can do are NWP spacers and a LW crank pulley. Then I guess it would be time to move on to internals, maybe change the fuel to E85 or possibly go nitrous.

I had a tiny 50 shot on the old 3.0 that was smoking like the dude from Friday. It was a fun experience. The rings went bad on my 242k mile 3.0, that's why I swapped to the 3.5. My old 3.0 gave a lot of 5.5 gens a run for their money..let's see how this one goes.

My advice is that anyone that is looking into the 3.5 swap should do it, it's worth it IMO. But don't let that be the first thing you do; enjoy the 3.0 for all it's glory and forgiving nature.

IBTL...I have been considering this but the oil burning question is really deterring me from this.. VQ30DEK might be best option.
