Re: thinner head gaskets/ 16v cams

How'd you make 185hp on a 2.0l motor -especially with a mild cam like the
euro intake? That's a lot of cojones! Do you remember your parts list and
build tricks? What was *your* powerband like (i.e. horsepower/torque at
specific rpms). And, most importantly, how do you know what the power figure
came to in the first place?
