What's better than 66.6?



Yeah, I'd say that's right at expectation or perhaps a little better. That 
translates to ~ 117 crank Hp, which is a good ways up on a stock 1.8 GTI 
engine.
54 Hp/L is right at what some of the MD local 2L 8V's are getting (except 
Brian who didn't manage 90 Hp! Sorry Dude!) most of which are running a G 
grind + exhaust, but also have had some cylinder head porting. So 
considering the lack of porting, which the 2.0L really needs to make decent 
power, Klaus is doing pretty good!
I really don't think you could expect much more without some head work and a 
lot more cam.
I presume the 67 Hp was the old original 1.6? When you did your "cam swap" 
it must have been quite a nice surprise.
So, what's next? ;^)
