well kinda both? the MGB engine wheezes out like 78hp, with a cam, high compression pistons, bigger carbs, a header and some head work, it *might* put out like 85hp. the TR engine, makes 110hp stock, the vintage race people are making like 180hp@7800rpm! its kind of like the rotary too, you dont change much, its a lot of careful assembly, and a little porting.



and the TR is light too, so power is fine.

What issues are you having? I'm running the JTR headers with a custom built system back from there. We were able to fit an H-pipe and high flow cats along with dual Borla mufflers. It tucks up nicely. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures.
