The 2TG is a very under rated engine due to its age and it only having 8 valves. I personally love it but don't kid yourself a newer 16 valve engine will be better given everything else as equal ! (And nothing is BTW)
I'll start with your N/A options
Tina's engine is the modded 2TGEU you refer to. It has had a lot of work but it is all of a very Mild nature. The cams seem large by 4AGE standards but for a 2TG they are babies !! It has also only had a 1mm overbore (3.5mm is my personal preference) and compression is only 9.8:1 (As a rule of thumb every extra compression point yeilds 10HP. Note I have not verified that but it came from a very knowledgeable mechanic and racer) Again personal preference would be more like 10.5:1
Teenz benefits in the torque department from the 3T crank to yeild an 1812cc capacity. A capacity of close to 1950cc is acheived with the 3T crank and 3.5mm overbore.
As a Maximum expect a figure of around 200 Flywheel Horsepower from an N/A 2TG. And expect it to be a real pig at low revs to acheive that power. (And you don't want to consider the cost)
Tina's engine was built as a refresh in her DAILY DRIVER ! It was designed for the Traffic light grand prix and as a Result it picks up great down low. Cams are on song nice and early and it gives most things a good run off the lights.
Best quarter mile to date is a 16 flat (As per the records page)
Don't get hung up on peak power ! consider useable power. If its all above 5500rpm then have fun driving it anywhere thats not a race track.
On a dollar per horsepower basis a big $$$ N/A build is not a winning combination unless you can do your own building and just pay for parts. Even then an import engine will almost definatly give you more value for your dollar. If you are handy with the spanners then a Package similar to Tina's can be created at a reasonable cost.
