I'll add that although it seems like a small upgrade, the feeling of power
and torque is quite significantly different between the two engines. I've
driven plenty back to back, and it certainly feels like there is much more
than a 15hp difference.

For comparison, my 4000Q has a 2.25 exhaust and turbo cam on the JT, and
still doesn't feel as quick as a 100+lb heavier stock 90Q.
