Hopefully managed to sort another 90A now

Can you elaborate on 6.2's being a dog? I've seen a few that have been breath on and man do they haul

6.2 was a bit of a disappointment,6.5 was a way better motor .I know a couple of guys who put them in vechicles then pulled them out again .one replaced with a 1kz and the other with a 454.vibrate like hell and for the size not very spirited performance
