Put a supercharger on your 2.2. At the elevation of Santa Fe and surrounding enviorns, a forced-induction system will give you more power gains than adding displacment. I know this from racing. Teenie little Nissan NSX 'supercars' are really fast (comparativly) at above 5000' and not so fast at sea level. Where as big ole Vipers are slow at elevation and pretty fast down low. I see reputable SC kits available for $3-5k... Don Hanson
