Odd that this is *exactly* what I was trying to build. :)  Streetable
power that I can live with day to day, and occasionally beat the crap out
of many of the other cars on the road. :-)

Not a problem I think.  Add a Techtonics racing downpipe and no-cat like
the other guys, and a set of lightweight / underdrive Unorthodox pulleys
and I think I can pull out another 9-12hp.  Mix in an asymmetric
exhaust cam, and who knows how well it'll do. :-]  Maybe I'll pop in
the Garrett race chip (I have two Motronic Garrett chips) next year!
