 10628 is running great and the handling is finally sorted (new bushings F&R, front anti-roll bar, rebuilt steering shaft) so now its time to think about how I can screw it up.

I ran a couple of stopwatch 0-60 runs and came up with about 10.5 seconds, which at an elevation of 6,000' tells me that she's performing exactly as she should.  Given the density altitude, I'm only putting out about 79% (or less) of sea-level horsepower, or 110 hp. 

I'm kind of reticent to spend several thousands on a 2.2L HC rebuild, just to get to 150 or 160 HP.  I'm wondering if supercharging might be a better option (I'm not sure how one would even go about stuffing a turbo in there -- there's hardly enough room for the exhaust system as it is.)

Opinions?
