I'd like to remind you the the higher horsepower ratings shown are almost
entirely a function of the auxilliary systems of the CAR, not the engine.
i.e. exhaust, intake, fuel injection...
	 The only 2 exceptions are compression-- and you don't want the 10:1
compression w/ a CIS motor anyways! It's a lot easier to increase
compresssion (like an 8.6:1 JH--shave the head) than to lower it.
	 The other exception is the camshaft. Presumably you'll be going to a
G-grind anyway, which is the best all-around cam for 99 bux.
Which is why I say that for a swap to regular CIS, the JH rules.
