The 993cc engine is unfortunately fairly untunable, If you feel your car is lacking a bit of performance simply try a good service (oil, air filter, leads etc). This should sort out any small flat spots you have on acceleration

Of course, with enough money anything is possible and if you want to have a go at modifying the cylinder head you could do worse than taking a leaf out of any mini owners book.

There are a great many articles on tuning small cc pushrod engines in mini circles that could be translated to the nova small block.

tbh ht leads wont make a blind bit of difference regards performance they just look nice

if u want some i got mine from motorworld they were expensive to say the least
or halfords sell 8mm ones
