Just got back from a "test session" of the 2.0L motor. Yea baby this car rocks. Started out with 140 main gas jets and the car would just bog and eventually zoom away when throttle was nailed to the floor.
Stopped put in 130 Mains and that made all the difference. Sorta like nail the throttle above 2500 RPM and Hang on. Went to my favorite high school parking lot and got it really rollin. 4000 RPM to around 6000 comes in a flash and now requires quicker shifting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Good thing I put new shift bushing in this thing. Oil temp 220 and head temp 300 ish.

Well didn't break it so I guess it will be OK. Going to run down the freeway in the morning check head temps and oil temps. Oil Pressure is real good.
