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...
