    Performance ?

    I was wondering if anyone every tried to bore and/or stroke this engine and what gains if any would be gotten?

    I could be wrong, but I believe the 2.7 has no larger displacement cousin that you could salvage parts from so it would mean a custom crank, big bucks and cylinder walls probably are so thin that anything more than a slight overbore and your into water jacket. You could probably safely run a 50 to 75 hp shot of nitrous (fairly cheap) but a turbo or supercharger would be very expensive and require a custom tune which is not easily done, no tuner for the 2.7. Of course the solution is trade her for a 3.5 or a hemi. The RT Magnum is the reason that I'm not driving a Japanese car, it gets better mileage than my old Mazda 626 V6 2.5l got.
