It is not good to have the piston travel further up and down and also at a faster pace. In essence you are making the piston move a further distance at the same rate of speed of your stock set up. This causes significant wear on your pistons, and also will decrease the engines ability to perform at high rpms. Not worth it in my opinion especailly when you have the RENNTECH price tag to add on as well.
well renntech offered it for quiet a while... I don't belive renntech products are very high performance or very affordable, but I do belive that they are reliable.. after all they also do offer a warranty... so if they have produced this product and distributed it... why can't others? everything else renntech and startech has done for our engines has been overed by other smaller... manufacturers, but not this...? there has to be a reson and I don't belive reliability is the case here... or else they would not offer it..
Is it just because it would be expensive to do? Renntech claimed a bump to 450 horses on the slk32 as far as I can remember with their 3.8 kit.. I am sure it could be a profitable product
