Are you sure about that. If my memory serves me, at this time, you were the one that asked the question, in the first place, and now that you have learned just why they used the 2.0 motor to start with, that you would ace the test. I knew most of the answers, before I even bought my SS, almost a year ago. I don't do second place. "Moon"

Now that you have read the above....I'm bored, so I decided to keep the thread going......

Yep, I am the one who asked the question. That shows that I actually care about the answer! When one cares about the answer it shows that they are motivated. Motivation will help me ace the test!

Any other questions?

Remember it is a closed book test!

Check out the GM Ecotech build book in down loads on the GM Performance web site. It has a lot of info on how strong most of the parts are in the engine. They list in the back the max HP on many parts. It is amazing.

Seems ironic that their most powerful motor is also the smallest of the three.

I would guess part of it has to do with being able to squeeze a lot of HP out of a smaller engine, while still being able to have good gas mileage?

Cause a big block didn't fit.
