OK, I have a pretty good handle on my ,80 Hp 1.7, EFI. What have some of you 1.7 drivers done to your existing engines and what was the seat of the pants result? Mine is totally stock.
I'm currently thinking of a 1911. Do you run the existing FI? Do you use the stock cam? Would it be better/easier/more bang for the buck to find a decent 2 liter engine and rebuild (2056)? Not that I have a budget, but reliability and fun matter and so does cost. I don't mind a revvy engine. I would enjoy my car "pulling" longer. It signs off rather quickly. I like to "drive" a car rather than rely on gobs of torque and HP (though more than 80 would not be a bad thing). The ability to break the rear end loose with power.
