Yea teh cam helps quite a bit. also for best performance you want Twin 40's. Execpt a rather large drop in MPG though but cant beat the noise they make!

I have a pair of Twin 40 Dellorto jetted for a 1.6

  Was going to go on my VTR Engine for my AX but just sold the AX. I'm after £40 + P&P As they need the linkages and a manifold
