It will be interesting to see how my motor turns out.  Stock 2.0 bottom end,
with euro intake cam, 50mm intake, P&P head by Collin Gyenes, TT downpipe/cat,
and TT fuel enrichment being added (if the damn head ever gets here - waiting
3 months+ now!).  I'm REALLY hopeful that the losses down low will be minimal
and outshined by the gains up top.. if I lose much bottom end at all, I'll
be disappointed.

You SoCal boys are welcome to take it for a test spin once ready..  :D
