Easiest way to more horsepower is always air in to air out.
My buddy changed his muffler on his 1.8 914 and noticed the power increase right away. I would say lighten up as much as you can, check your timing and air intake, and put on a better flowing muffler (and headers if you want to spend the cash). Oh and dont forget some good tires.... |
