I should of been more clear. the ratings i gave were for a N/A setup. if you went with a Turbo then it would be cheaper. a SOHC on stock internals and on like 6psi of boost, i think its around 175HP.

Sorry if I was not clear, since he was talking turbo, so was I. Who would be silly enough to try to make power out of an n/a sohc econo motor =p.

that sounds very interesting could you p.m the make of the cams , pistions etc. i'd really like to look into that cuz if that is the whole deal i wouldn't mind doing that. and 250 would be plenty for me.... thanks for letting me know about that, i'm going to look into the 2.0 swap and what other internals i can buy for it thanks for bringing light upon my question on the 2.0
