Besides, the consensus is that the 1.6 intake won't flow sp unless I change the intake to type R, it won't make much difference.
Now if spending a ton of money to get to 175 means re-allign bore the block to get 12 to one compression, I think we hace a rule problem don't we. There is a reason why 100 hp to liter is an accomplishment. Bottom line is the things that help a 70 hp per liter motor have already been done on the 100 hp per liter motor.
Ps, Jeremy, remember me? I almost bought your GSR last year for endurance racing, small world huh.
