re: scary possibility (was Euro spec horsepower)



"could it be that the Spica actually produces the same power with a weaker
cam that the Webers do with a 
stronger cam -- could the whole point of putting Spica on the U.S. cars was
to give them the same performance as the European cars, AND meet smog laws? "

Probably.  And here's the scary part: if a box-stock US-model injected
engine with weaker cams and detuned timing makes about the same power as
the stock Euro-spec carbed engine, then shouldn't the injected engine be
capable of making MORE power than the stock carb version with a few very
mild modifications?
