Go 2.25 bigger is better.  You shouldn't lose much torque.  plus the 
2.0 will like the better breathing.  If you run an unported 8v head 
you are already starving the 2.0 those engines need to breathe

Everything I've ever heard says that torque will suffer slightly if you go over
2"... I think 2" is optimum, not from personal experience, just from talking to a
lot of people.
