Stroking rather than boring is the common way of doing it... tbh I doubt there's enough meat there to increase the bore that much.

As above; stroking to 2.7 is the common method. As for the 'best way to increase performance' - how long have you got?!

Suggest you read the sticky at the top of this section first,the 2.7 building one,then ask us questions to clear any problems.

It's S50 in Europe.

S52 is the American variant, based on M52.
