Go for a bigger engine if I were you, 4.5 or 5, 4L accelerates OK but sooner or later you'll probably find the lack of torque below 3000 rpm a bit of a pain.Good luck!

Should be trying out a 5litre later today for a comparison. Hopefully it'll be a good one!

5litre is officially crazy fast. Shame it was damp and smelt like an old tent/dog though!
