DC.
bring it out any time mate.

everyone is talking about how much power you can get out of a 853 but remember that once at that limit you are at the end of the road.
if you have a 996 lump you still have all the possibilities that were available to the 748 engine.
so a 996 with big bore tuned heads cams timed and so on will still be more than a 853 will put out.
that's the rote I took. 118HP with just a chip and pipes. and when the winter comes round (project time) watch out.
