That's interesting. Really, street racers care about top end the most, street racing is drag racing. So a street RACER would want the high revs and big turbo, while a street DRIVER would want the wider powerband and driveability of a 2.3 setup. I'm torn, I want to pull like nuts on the highway somewhat and not die on a road course. I'm torn between the 35R and 37R, and therefore also torn between the 2.0 and 2.3. I suppose I'll rule out 2.3 and 37R, so my remaining options are 2.0/35R, 2.3/35R, 2.0/37R.

The norris designs evo 9 SWB. Look at the numbers, esp tq. This is all using a 2.3 crank. They hit 9.2@160mph.

Curious....Does it have any alternate effect or result in an VIII or a IX if you have either the 2.3 or the 2.0, meaning does one benefit from the other differently from different setups.

With a 2.3 ltr really being a 2.25, why not have the best of both worlds. Go with a 2.2 ltr. You can have tourqe and 9500 rev limit. Just destrock a 4G64 block with an eagle 94mm crank. Pick your custom rods and piston combo off of the 94mm crank, and have it all.
