Cam and a set of 40s/throttle bodies would be a good set up it all depends on your budget really bud
IMO if it isnt doing it for you. it would be easier and probably cheaper in the long run to put as bigger engine in. i bet, you would spend as much on the 1.6 trying to get it to your specs while compromising the reliability probably as you would on the new engine, install and insurance.
i say go bigger :)
cheers keep them coming like i said dont want to get a bigger engine just to know best box and bottom end etc
whos doing the headwork? what are they doing and how much they charging?
im lucky i know a couple of guys that do their own work so it wont be much
