Sean, Defile my Van? Wow! That's pretty heavy stuff! I went though the same stuff about 2 months ago on the list, categorized as "instant horsepower". Boy, did I catch the rash of Ca Ca for even thinking of any bizarre ideas to increase horsepower! You do have an advantage, in that Fast German Auto has a computer chip, for your Digifant set up, and with a set of ported and polished heads, some big valves, and a mild cam, you should be right where you want to be as far as a little extra HP. I'm pretty much stuck with improved heads, as I am having a hard time finding a cam for my 1.9, that's efficient, without the computer chip. (non available) You ought to slap a performance pipe on her too! I put a round turbo muffler, in place of the $295.00 stock unit, and it growls real neat, kind of like an old Porsche! Anyway good luck in you endeavor. Terry 85 GL |
