My motor should be a good comparison as well.  Stock 2.0 bottom and head,
euro intake cam, the 50mm manifold (THANKS DIRK), Super Sprint header and
mostlikely an adjustable enrichment module.  Again I have the same hopes,
that is why I stuck with the stock 2.0 head, and mild cam.  Maybe when I
am done when can get a 2.0 16v dyno day in?  That would be cool to see all
the comparisons....
