[OT] 2.0 X-Flow Questions

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

CIS will adapt to the larger displacement with only the normal idle mixture adjustment.
Despite some people that think CIS is a pain, it's just wonderfully adaptable to any changes in configuration from displacement to exhaust to CR to camshaft. The only downside is it's an intake restriction. For its adaptability that's pretty easy to live with.
I can't think of any reason the electrical stuff won't work either. Adding KS igntion might give you a little more power and peace of mind, but other than that what the car has will work with the bigger engine very well.
