Hello, All!

I was just wondering what the horsepower output of die various B18/B20 engines is. I understand that the B18-powered PV544 Sport with dual SUs is rated at 90hp. But there are other Volvos, especially the fuel injected P1800s, that have more power. What's the status with the B20s?

Differently asked, if you were to look for a bone stock B18 or B20 engine, used, taken out of a running car, which one would have the most horsepower?

More detailed, which are the "best" cylinder heads, boosting the highest compression and the "best" cam?

Would be cool if we could make some kind of a list for future reference.
