2.slow?

[David Glubrecht]

I'm not entirely sure why, but this is the engine we run in our Chump/Lemons race car.
Partially due to availability and cost.
We hacked them (two cars) to run the 2.0 on CIS, mostly because we were afraid that the EFI wouldn't like an aftermarket cam we were running (prior to damaging it in one of our engine failures).

We now run them stock and with a rev-limiting rotor (914) and the current one has ~50 race hours on it after pulling it out of a wreck @ ~ 150k miles.
