looking at specs of the 2.4L and the 2.0L S/C...i'd say the 2.4L engine would have more of a potential with very few mods that can run fairly safe with a considerable amount of boost (15psi) from an aftermarket S/C. i don't know if they made a S/C for the 2.4, but you'd squeeze more numbers out of it than you would with the 2.0L S/C. i'll read up more on the bottom end potential too. dome pistons with a slight increase in stroke, along with a safe boost of about 7-8psi would give you a little monster on that. the SI's still have the upper hand on this. approx. 100hp per liter. i'm thinking the comptech S/C would help top it off and bang another 40-50hp out of it. problem is, you can't boost the SI too much cus of the high compression.
