I can think of a few things that would fix your
problem.  Get some new pistons for that motor of
yours, slap a turbo and new ECU in there, and you'll
be all set:)  It was incodents like this that
modivated me to do my project.  Sometimes you just
need some seriouse power, for safety reasons, right?
My groung breaking event involved a Snaab 9000 turbo
that kept slowing down on the interstate, then
speeding up, and at the time there was no way in hell
I was ever going to be able to pass him.
