the thing i find interesting is the fact that it's clearly not been an
issue all this time. i've just got myself another crx, 1990 dx, and it
absolutely flies. i'm sure that upgrading from 2pfi to 4pfi would
improve performance further, but i wonder how much difference there is
between a "good" d15 and a "not so good" d16. since there's always
variance in output from engine to engine - speculating, you could
therefore argue that the difference could be approaching that of the
variance "noise".

Wasn't it Smokey Yunick who said "there's no substitute for cubic inches"?
you will get more torque from more displacement.
