Okay, honest opinion, and experience-
Talking about carb'd engines: Is an upgrade from a carb'd good running 1.8L to a Carb'd 2.0L REALLY worth it? Has anyone done it an said "WOW world of difference!! This RULES!!" Or is it just another step in futility? (It's NEVER as fast as it could be...) I can't afford a /6 and I can't afford a Jaby 2270, my car runs great, so is a well balanced well cammed, 2.0L worth the trouble? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) TIA Bob O |

Yes. The 2.0 is a kick in the pants. The heads alone are worth 10+ HP.
