    I know Downing took a 20b and made a custom intake manifold and exhaust and tuned it and made something like 320-330hp...without porting.
    Still dont get why a low demand motor is priced so high. I know a guy up in Sugar Hill who has many 20B's just sitting around still in the wrap they came in from shipping... and he wont sell them.
    I bet my cars title a stock FC with just the minium for a 20B swap with an n/a setup with a mild port would not go over 250whp. A 26A is a differnet story.

    When people come up to me and ask for a Mild port I laugh and tell them it's not even worth my time opening up the engine to do it. You get MAYBE 5 to 10% gain, and that's with tuning and proper setup.

    PS: I want a picture of this man you speak of with all the 20b's in his yard, I would like to have it as a wallpaper for my PC, cause that's crazy!

    Now what you could do is 20B and N/A it and use Renesis Rotors, Ceramic Seals, and Extended port. Would put you around the 300hp range.

    A man by the name of Dennis Spensor owns the shop. I worked there in the composites side of the bldg. and saw them over there. They were running a 20br in a ALMS LMP. He bought the motos thinking he could use them as interchange parts with his race car....but it turns out the Cosmo 20b's and the mazdacomp 20b's he had were different. Not the Cosmo 20b's just collect dust. If you really want to try, a company by the name of Composite Technologies, call them and get the other shops number (same bulding). Place is in Buford Ga.

    Sorry, no pics... worked there a few years ago and last i heard the engines were still there.

    You're talking about Team Spencer. Very good shop. HITman used to do some of their tunning for the race cars. They spend big money to do it right.
