Default Re: ignition system

Upgrading the cam is a seriously easy job with those motors. I think you'd just need to re-tune the engine control module. Fit extractors if you havn't already. Bigger exhaust maybe? I'd recommend 2.5 inch.

Also maybe upgrade the intake. The stock ones have a squeeze point at the left shocky tower. Something that would have an obvious although minimal negative effect.

From a laymans point of view, having an upgraded fuel delivery system will have no benefit if the motor still runs stock.

I'm no expert but my theories are simple. Make it breath better, maybe increase the valve clearance, then give it more juice.
