From your list I would choose a LET.

Considered a 2.0l XE with throttle bodies??

There ain't no nice tish but they sound nice enough and also go well enough.

It's a lot of money, probably ?2k+ for any of those engines, so YOU make the decision. Theres no way I'd let other people make my mind up for me when it comes to that sort of money.

1.6 on carbs!

N/A is where it's at! :D and dont let the dump valve boys tell you any different! 300bhp LET vs a well set up N/A engine on a track?! Atmo will win every time! 8)
