Default It would be a lot of work for 25HP gain.

It would be more of an electrical challenge.

Default A lot of engineering

Anything is possible. But the inputs to the instrument cluster, all the wiring, etc....would make it too expensive and time consuming.

Doesn't the 335 have a timing chain? If so, that's worth more than the 25 hp gain.

I believe the timing chain didn't start until FSI came out in '07
