Hang on Allyn -- you mean to say that you're going to stick with 1.8s 
instead of going to 2.0s?!  If that's the case, you might wanna re-read 
that article.  The 2.0 has a tremendous amount more low-end torque, but it 
also has significantly higher high-rpm torque; and therefore also more 
horsepower.  And therefore it's much faster.
