?'s about our 2.0 liter

Alright, a few questions...

1) I am considering doing an all motor build up of our motor. High compression pistons, head work, exhaust, cams, lightened flywheel, etc....with a hp goal of 200 whp. The question is, on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it gonna be to get to that goal, with one being equivalent to scaling a flight of ten steps and 10 equivilant to climbin mount everest with no prior training?

2) Are our motors (2.0 liter FS, right?) easy to come by and were they available prior to this past year? Where would be a good place to look for one? I took a quick look at miata.net but didn't really see anything.

Thanks in advance.

I know that the proteges in the speed world challenge are putting out about 220bhp. Sport Compact Car had an article on Roger Foo's P5 and his team's engineers said a lot of good things about the FS engine. Also try this link,
