Bob Sharp's 240Z was worked up to about 300hp and he was still running the R180. Of course he didn't have half the torque you have, and he switched to the R200 as soon as it became an option a few years later. But except for tire-shredding acceleration, the R180 will hold up to a lot of ponies.

And it's a lot lighter!

We'll zee. If I can stay away from the autox events and stick to cruizes and shows she should be fine. I'm looking for some coffee runs .... Lime rock is on my clock unless something screws that up. That's a nice drive.
I might go to a cruize in Wallingford, CT to grab a burger and a ride.
