Well the SS's head gasket has gone and its currently get stripped.
We are going to use this opportunity to maybe tweek it.
So far its had:
Ported standard head
Oversize Paul Ivey valves (26/29.5mm)
Piper BP270H 633 cams
Piper Verniers
ITG Induction Kit
s2w manifold and flexi
Emerald ECU (mapped by Dave Walker)
What else can we do to get a few more ponies?! Apart from installing a honda!
Throttle bodies?! Anything else?
TIA cheers Ed

Dont think it fits in the S1 sub frame. Besides it would probably cost just as much as a Honda but without being as good an engine.

If you fit Jenveys,you could fit the 285H cams,which will give you about 170 - 180 BHP with that head.
Shug will have a pair of cams and springs I think??
Simon wanted to keep it looking standard for insurance.

Without doing anymore work to the head/valves or changing cams, T/B's are the only way that you will get a worthwhile increase in HP, matched to a suitable exhaust manifold to keep the mid range torque.
