Performance wise, like I said, I've only put 25 miles on her since pick up yesterday, but it accelerates very well. I've only taken her up to about 65/70

SO i can't really say that this engine is better or worse than the N54. Once the break in period is over, I can give a better report. BUT we are comparing an almost back breaking 5000lbs SAV to a 3000-3500 335... The acceleration is going to be nowhere as close...
