By faster, I wasn't really planning on putting a V8 in there. What's the point of that? I just thought someone might have an idea for an engine that was maybe more efficient and more powerful, and there are a couple good ideas.

Would be quick in a light car like that, with the cam timing and careful mapping it would mpg well too.
I particularly like that one. That sounds good.

I also like the 2.2 EcoTec out of an S10, that sounds fair as well. That was more what I was planning on seeing from ecomodders, not 800hp monsters hahaha.
