Re: 8v 2.0 L vs. 16v 2.0 L

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

I don't get it. A 2.0 16V is going to have more power/torque at all rpms
than a comparable 2.0 8V.

This is simple. For me, I prefer the simplicity and cheapness factor of
the 8V.

	Thank you Rich.  

	I would rather not get into this debate again, but as VW said,
the 16v has
more torque at every given RPM than does the 8v.

	Go and see for yourself:

	It's the dyno results for my 100% stock 1.8 16v.  Corrected hp at
the
engine after a coast-down test was 123.02hp.
