I believe the dyno had the 190-200 numbers typical of a 2130cc+ max build, from a 2.0L, presumably with better street manners, less octane sensitive etc

All of this begs the question- with a b23/b234 hybrid bolting up to the transmission bellousing as it does, why bother? In fact, at this level, you'd want to transfer the cylinder bores from a b23 block into a b20 like a couple of the swedes have done, to get more displacement, so you really are not gaining anything. Just more work. Now NASCAR/Prostock quality canted valve non crossflow head, in aluminum, that would just bolt on... That, I'd buy.
