i dought they'll find any big gains.

it's an 8v  1400cc and make 60 bhp iirc.   the SPI unit itself isnt exactly very big and thats the problem.   the engine itself can give about 80 - 85 bhp with stock cyl head. but to get that the spi unit and manifold need fileing in the bin.

I had a look at a birds 1.4spi from down the road, nothing can be done software wise to give any gains,  IMO a good service, good plugs, quality oil, performance filter (not cone) de-cat or sports car and good fuel will give you the best results ans should get rid of the flat spot.
