Did you fix this on the manifold and do you have any photos? What did they do? Yes, I have the same instance. It never affected performance or even made any noise whatsoever.
BTW: I had the off-the-shelf Wiseco 9:0/1 pistons. ANY discussion about
lag or being
soft at low and mid throttle from my standpoint is irrelevant. My tuner (Mike Botti) did his magic, and if anything it had
more grunt than stock. Incredible. It's STILL a big honkin 3.7L V6. Don't overthink this area. Firsthand experience.
Thanks for that post. Let me know, please.
