As you might know, the eta engine beneficiates a lot from a quality chip. Among others, the Jim Conforti chip unleashes around 15-20 HP. Not bad for $240.Many engine buolders will sell a souped up engine based on the long stroke block, but all will be topped by a better breathing i head. Pistons need to be changed to allow a higher compression than the missmatch would yeld, and also all the intake will need to be swapped. Not cheap.
Start by a chip and enjoy.
