I have to agree with Uber on this one. If you're going NA and want more power then adding displacement is the way to go. But if you're boosted there are much better and easier ways to make up the power difference. Unless you're just really pyschotic and like to drive around on slicks permanently. 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.
