how to get the most power from a n/a motor...

im replacing my s5 n/a motor with a healthy one. im gonna track the car here and there as well as daily drive it. so far im sticking with rb header, 2 1/4 inch header-back exhaust, 5th and 6th ports open always, and im gonna port and knife-edge the manifolds. 8mm wires and new ngks, new air filter. when the porting is done along with everything else, my fc can keep up with a stock t2.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR MORE POWER

LMAO!!! DJ NO TORQUE!


steve: i hate the mad power and torque that v8s make besides wouldn't you rather invest $10k to make 500whp in a 4 banger than $2k with a v8!? its more fun to waste money on half the cylinders LOL

to each there own im just giving the guy a hard time, I wouldn't mind having a power monster and only investing about 2k for large amounts of hp increase don't you agree? But my heart and soul is in the pit of the rotary plant. Really hope this guy makes a wise choice.
