you'll have nice power throughout the band...just have it tuned properly.

yeah that's what i wanted..... because I wasn't too excited about going turbo if i had to run 9.1:1 compression. I'm basically just looking for a nice higher than normal B20 turbo, and wider power band.
ONE MORE question::::::::: what would be a good mild/not wild turbo kit on this motor? Greddy, HKS, ???
