Re: 2.0 vs 1.8 16V head on a 9A Block.

Jason,

I put my 2.0-with-a-1.8 head on the dyno at Waterfest.  The engine is a
stock 9A block with a 1.8 head, stock cams, no cat, excellent compression.
On a 95 deg. day I got 122.1 HP at the wheels running 93 octane w/an octane
boost product (don't know if it helps).  Like I said, the only thing not
stock is the lack of a brick in the converter can.

HTH.
