So from the sounds of it this is the first time you've had a built engine. Luckily it's a legit expert like Kevin building it haha

Hopefully I won't have to welcome to the fraternity of guys who built engines and then went 2x overbudget when the build went wrong and had to be redone/something broke unexpectantly/it got tuned by a reputable top tuner then blew for some odd reason

What ECU tuning are you using, Cobb AP? Sounds like you want to switch between 91 and c16 maps.

Typically the main purpose for 2.0 heads is a higher compression..
So why run them if you're going for lower compression? Because they certainly are not better flowing Matt.

If you're going for a monster it seems like 2.0 heads would be a bad choice. It's like having a 13" tv for a playstation3.
