    I am unsure of where you are getting 120 hp for the Coupe. This is a crappy pic of my Factory Owner's Manual from my 1985 Coupe GT, pulled from my glove box .Which the first line says, Maximum output SAE net : 110 hp @ 5500 rpm.

    Every site I have researched , forums and such, and the giant pink factory manual I have says 110 hp stock for 1985 Audi Coupe GT. I believe this is correct from 84 to 86.5 or 1987. Then they had the special 2.3 motor which were in 87.5 Coupes.

    I understand Andy's concern, but on that car, the Mopar 2.2 is not going to make a ton of power naturally aspirated. It's torquey but doesn't rev. It's a B car I think (Dayontas were not that heavy stock) and it is another example of a car classed due to curb weight that is several hundred pounds at least off where process would put it.

    It is these cars that might be a bit scary, but that also are probably the ones hurt the most by the current moratorium on changes.
