reasonably priced 1st what reasonably priced to you? QUOTE power gain send your heads to HAM let him fill the spark plug holes, re-tap in 2 ltr location and do a polish job on them that should net you a few HP's they say you pick up 10 from the plug relocation |

QUOTE power gain send your heads to HAM let him fill the spark plug holes, re-tap in 2 ltr location and do a polish job on them that should net you a few HP's they say you pick up 10 from the plug relocation i guess what i mean is it's money well spent in return for reliability, longevity and horse power verses possible engine swap/upgrade. i'm reluctant to: 1 get into any bigger projects than needed unless it's really benifitial 2 keeping in mind i'd prefer stockish w/ added h.p. (never know which way ca. smog will go) i've been thinking along the lines of quality (oversized?), bumped compression pistons/cylenders. also you've interested me with the improved heads. with this set up i would think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) i maybe pull 20? more reliable h.p.? i've always wondered why sorry, type IV's had such low compression and required such high octain. i have to assume its just design. smog wise they do produce alot of h.c. or is it also that the studs pull out? questions, questions, mike |
