if you have a 2.3 stroker that's already built and complete and running why would you put mivec on it?

If you are in to big power and drag racing, or you are going to stay in high RPMs I don't see how running MIVEC will be a plus.

To me MIVEC is only an advanatage to stockish, DD type cars that stay near stock power levels - or say - only 100-200hp above it.

Well I dont want to have to re wire the car and swap out ecus etc. Seems a lot easier to swap the valve springs out into im ix head than get that conversion line or just make one. And yes I am sending my ix head in for insoection valve job etc.
