ecotec is just as tuneable to 200bhp, and the ecotec does have ore torque which is better on a road car

Do Ecotec engines generally come from newer cars, not like an XE which usually comes from a 1990 Cav or Cally. Therefore the miles on the engine should be less thus meaning more reliability in most cases.
