More torque

Hey Dan, it depends how far you want to go. Changing exhaust cam, headers, and cat all give decent bump in torque. The 2.0 L series block can fit the 2.3 L3 head or equivalent ford duratec which helps too. A stroker kit is the best way through, from factory the sp23 L3 engine is basically a stroked 2.0 which has better torque.
