Yikes! I tried to catch up on this thread in the digest because I must
have missed something. You know how to build a 2.0l aircooled to put out
110hp? That's nearly double the stock HP rating.

Did I miss something, or do I have the only 2.0l FI 81 air cooled factory
rated in the high 60's HP?? (low 50's after 200K)   :-)

If you do get there, please share, and I am not being a wise guy. I just
think that much power requires something that won't resemble a 2.0l AC, if
you add the caveat of keeping it reliable. Of course, I am thinking pretty
much stock. What do you have in mind?

Thanks,

John
