euro cam, fuel enrichment ($20 if you build it yourself, like me, $120 
otherwise), tt aluminized exhaust, and the tt 16v cams are all options.  by 
the way, the stock 1.8 head on the 2.0 block is good for an extra 7-10hp 
depending on the rest of your setup.  So I'd say you're looking at having to 
gain about 15-20hp with a fuel enrichment.
