More HP.

[speedracer]

the only advantage to the 1800 head swap is a compression bump. Without any other changes your engine won't rev higher or do anything except create a bit more compression

I didn't mean that the engine would rev higher.

I meant that the 1800 head would let the engine keep making power over 5000RPM, which is about the point the 2.0 engine begins to run out of steam due to the heads lousy valve overlap. Running a stock 79 2.0 ltr. over 5000 RPM or so seem's to produce alot of noise but not much else in the way of power. At least not enough to push it much farther IMO...

Does that sound right?

I think you've been reading too many internet myths. Valve overlap is due to cam profile, and lots of overlap will reduce low end power and will produce high end hp.

Will it be wise to change only the cams (performance) and the head (1800 for 2000) on a FI 2000?
