First steps to unlocking performance

[hobbiniho]

nice to have low down torque just for normal driving etc. Newman cams are quite good i hear?

emm i thought that the 16v had more torque than the 8v  wheres the graph???

yeah, thought u had to be higher revs to feel it as much tho.

under drive pulleys. and ignitiong timing and higher octane fuel can help and and as much as 5-8 ponies and a full tune up with adjustments, putting a colder thermostat can do some good also. Spark plugs, If it's possible to index the pugs you might or might not notice a difference. But and non conservitve adjustment, remember bigger is not always better.
