Question performance advice please help.....

i just started work on my Gen 1 rx, it goes pretty well but i want it to go better. atm it's a standard 12A, i plan to rebuild it soon

my problem is i dont know what the best way is to make it go better. some say turbo, some say porting, i even had the suggestion of supercharging....although i dont know if i like that idea, superchargers being belt driven would have to be dangerous in high-rev rotary apps. everyone says something different and i want reasons!!!

Anyone who can give me some advice, speak up...else can i get a contact that may be able to help me.

i dont care about top speed cause i can't use it on the road. i am after acceleration.

welcome.

you're more likely to get quicker and more meaningful help if you check out the Gen I section. your question, as stated is pretty general, so i'll keep my response general.

porting the engine is a great idea. however, have you exhausted all bolt-on options yet? if i were you i'd start with the basics (exhaust, modified Nikki or aftermarket carbie, etc.) and then look towards porting and forced induction.

how much power do you want?
how much power can you afford?
