with the 4x4, i would opt for the .63, you will lose a little torque on the way up to peak power, which helps the gearbox.

i made 420lb/ft on a t34.48 and 55s, and broke loads of boxes,

on a std yb, a t34.63 on our set up will do between 380 -400 bhp at 32psi

But you have admitted on the other post that you get 35mpg as you drive like a girl

Maybee you stand half a chance with a fresh engine , but noy exactly a good idea with an old engine

all IMO tho

t3s dont do very well over 25- 26 peak tbh, they sweat a little,

so if you want more power t34 it is imo
