Yup...you'll get a nice mid and upper RPM boost from the 1.7's.

Thanks Bernd. This will likely be the end of any performance upgrades
other than tune-up issues. I don't anticipate changing anything else.
Who is a good supplier for this package, Summit, perhaps? and would the
1.7 still be my best choice, with the engine staying basically stock,
other than the FIPK and catback?
