My nice 2.0L w/ the 3.94 at 6psi and 9psi never got any tracting in 1st and 2nd gear. Now with the 3.55 on 6psi I don't get traction in 1st still, and 9psi and 12psi still no traction in 2nd. This is with a quiafe and stiff mounts. And remember the thing that holds us back from making good power isn't the displacement of the engine, it's the engine management. If you're still craving displacement get a stroker 2.2L with the ease of install.

That is correct...yet for some of us who are psychotic enough to do a trans swap and keep it automatic it makes sence since we canot take advantage of the high rpm drop you acheive with a clutch :)..we need our torque a lil earlier
