No good for a 3 cyl corsa 12v unfortunately.
In all seriousness, they usually give a small gain to any engine, but are better when used with hotter cams & head work etc so that all the mods complement each other.

The cam and the 4-2-1 will be a good combination. I had this set up with a 272 deg cam and made 125lb/ft @ Regal

torque....lb/ft.
still a high torque figure for the mild mods.... esp when you factor in a tired old 1.6 will be atleast 5-10bhp down on book power/torque...
oh and wez. you cretin. Skim your own head... ie take the head off your engine and get it skimmed rather then buying one that you dont know the history of... it will be cheaper!
