Danny,

The heart, soul and raison d'etre of the SVX is the flat 6 EG33 powerplant sitting under its hood. Would an ej25 tuned to 350hp be faster? Yes, but I'd take a 230hp n/a EG33 anyday. It might be slower, but getting from point A to B will so much more enjoyable!

Might be kind of hard to do unless you have an AMC sitting around that you can borrow the door handles from

As I recall, that guy is shooting for 800 WHP (I have a dyno of 600). He won't turn it loose 'cause he's afraid he'll blow stuff up.
