Man m20's suck. lol. Made a huge difference though, engine revs so quick and smooth. The guys that installed and tuned the Unichip told me the engine has alot more power potential, if it is run on higher octane fuel. Right now the timing is adjusted to -8ยบ around the area of peak tq to prevent detonation, and similar retard throughout the main power range.

I'm sure it could. But I don't really care right now. The motor runs like a champ, and the pinging is gone. Throttle response is instant, and it just drives so nice.
Once I'm in TX I will have constant access to better fuel, the gas here in Oregon sucks (92) I still have a few more mods planned for the engine, that will help it out a bit.
Right now the engines biggest enemy to making more power is a lack of high enough octane fuel and the high compression ratio. The combination of the 2 require the timing to be backed off to much and it loses power.

Jordan, I'm glad its all worked out, it will be reliable for sure. I think the power is actually pretty good. I put out 154whp when I had my 2.8l N/A with small mods (just bigger injectors and afpr). So fuel tuning, head work, cam actually give you some pretty good gains.
Guys, his car has the same hp curve as a 3.5l m30! But ends up with more power (higher redline). I can guarentee the throttle response is awesome too (something I don't get as much of with a turbo in the way).
