Robert,

IIRC, you are using the later 2.0 short block with a counter flow head.
From all that I have read, you may have lost as much as 10 hp off the top.
Torque is rumored to stay the same.  Again, I have never seen back to back
dyno runs with just the head change published so this is mainly conjecture
based on the superior flow of the later head.

Any plans on dynoing yours?

Scott
