I dunno... the specs for the PI grind are fairly close to what Kas Kastner 
calls an S-2. His dyno charts show a 2-liter 
with an S-2 making ~135 hp @ 6000 rpm, but that also requires 10.7:1 CR, a mite 
much for street fuel unless one's done a 
very good job on the chambers, and would require all of the other mods he 
recommends in the competition guide. But, 
approximately, 130 hp is possible with a streetable cam.

Cheers.
