Just to understand this correctly... since I have a 99 C4, this means it has E-gas? Accordingly, I can put a 3.8L X-51 motor with core change for $5800 plus labor? - How much is labor? Also, what is the difference in horsepower and torque to the wheels?

Anyone know anthing about this engine? I hear that the engine upgrade is not that reliable. Never really heard anything about this engine.
