I don't think you'd have to change your lifestyle, but you'll probably need to wring the engine out if you want to get up to speed in a reasonable amount of time.

Yeah. Right now I own a Volvo 940 2.3L Turbo. I don't have to think about highway merging at all. Don't get me wrong - it's not that I mind going slow and people zooming by me on the highway. I do 60 MPH on the highway all day long. But I do find sometimes find it stressful to merge onto highways when a lot of traffic is coming. That's why I'm thinking of doing the 16 valve swap.
But I'd like to hear more opinions before making a decision.
