Easy 400HP on stock internals, and without opening up the engine seems like a good reason to me. But lets not turn this into another pistons VS rotor bash fest. There is already one of those in the lounge.

87 Vert it gets here friday or saturday. Im as happy as I can be. Now if I could only throw the 85k from where I sold my peterbuilt into the vert, well lets just say it would be orgasmic.

i own an sr20 swapped 240. if u want an sr20 u should look around for a 240 roller.
if its the styling of the mazda u like. there r better engine conversions out there for the price u would pay for the sr20 and time/money to fab it up w/o alot of previous swaps to base ur work off of.
i dont know the situation, maybe u have an sr20 lieing around and u have the time and money to do this. but i would stick w/ either the turbo rotaries or v8s in the mazda.
