Look around on this site. Click the 2nd generation 12 valve and go from there. That is a very good site, with lots of information.

You may already know this, but what I find amazing is that at 17.5 to 1 compression ratio , times 20 psi boost. It's incredible that these engines will last 100's of thousands of miles at that pressure.
