I'm just curious what people's thoughts are on this.
To be clear I'm not talking about removing d-jet or any original parts. Say you are faced with a rebuild. Why not at least build a 1.7 or 2.0 into a 2056 with 96mm pistons and cylinders, higher performance valve train, and a modern cam like Raby's 9550. Visually the engine will look 100% stock but have 30 more hp and a substantially better torque curve. Engine internals aren't ever judged in a concourse are they?

Jim, I have been running an engine with internal mods but stock looking externals for years. Djet works fine with several mods, the extra hp is fun!

Djet works fine with several mods it's all in the combo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) jake's 9550 cam is a big improvement over the stock FI cam and it was developed with the stock FI in mind. with the right parts, you can get the stock FI up to ~125 HP ...
