A built n/a b16 is a blast. I loved mine. However, the true downfall is the lack of torque even in a heavily built b16. With Skunk2 Stage 2 cams and all the support goodies, I was making over 185 hp at the wheels, but only 115 tq at the wheels. The car was quick, revved to the moon, and felt like it wanted to pull for days ... it just lacked that big "hit" feeling that you get from bigger displacement motors.
