 Judson, do you have the dyno plots you refer to available for posting? I think a lot of us would appreciate it greatly if someone could assemble a pile of dyno plots for different engine configurations, such as the 2.0/107@104ºLC engine you just spoke of.

The problem at high RPM comes with wear, right? Built to factory spec, the pressure should reach the other lube points fine, but the leakage between the top bearing and the crank (as this widens due to wear) causes less oil to reach the rod bearings - at lower pressure, is my analysis correct?

While I'm at the diggin': a 912LC engine, does that have the crossdrilled crank and plain bottom bearing? It is a lot cheaper than an SE engine, so it could be used as a 2.2 starting point.
