Upgrade Engine on RS4 3SS
What would be the best engine upgrade on a RS4 3SS. I know a lot of people go with the O.S. .18 but is there a good engine that is between the stock .12SS and the O.S. .18??? I would like to get some more power out of the car but without going to an engine that will kill my handling and kill my drivetrain? Also, I'd like to keep this purchase under $130. Advice guys!

Well that is exactly what I was thinking but how do they compare to the stock .12SS?
Also will they bolt right into the car without much modification?
Thanks.

RE: Upgrade Engine on RS4 3SS
I would like to get a .18, either Epic or O.S., but I've heard their power will break a lot of drivetrain parts and their added weight will make the handling of the car go downhill. Maybe thats not a true statement?? Thats why I orginally said I wanted to go with a .12 or .15 that is better than the stock .12SS. Thanks.
