I'm coming from the m44 1.9L (140hp?) that wasn't able to accelerate worth shi#t past 3 gear, unless it was high rev'ed. That thing had less hp than most 4cyl 90's sedans from toyota..

Anyhow, 190hp will keep me plenty happy in that car because it's lighter than the 328 it was pulled from Not to mention, once it's up and running - mods mods mods mods mods mods mods mods!

(I just spent like $900 on leathers for my bike + a new helmet. Means I'm going to save up 1 more paycheck to ensure that the build will be solid. Ouch)
