GenesisEG: well said. People keep forgetting about torque 'cause everyone seems to talk kW/hp. Frustrating! And that's exactly why I lost to a B18. On the Dyno I had slightly more power but on the road he obviously had slightly more torque. If we had a straight track several k's long I probably would have slowly caught back up. Me with the top speed advantage, him with the acceleration advantage.

So, as I said, boost the b16 for more torque or increase displacement for more torque "Torque wins races"
