Whats the Best way to upgrade a stk 2.0 ?, how to get more PWR with stk parts,.. Options

[flmont]

Iam trying to upgrade my 2.0 type 4 and the machine shop is a little leary,..of going with bigger valve's for fear of the seats falling out,..so If I keep stk heads,..what are my choices for going for more PWR,..I know larger PC's are planned,.. 96MM,..with larger cam,..using weber carbs,..( ICT 34's is what came off the engine,.) I don't need to use those carbs, if there are better options ,..like 40 or 44's,..can I keep original crank and rods,. I would like to if there still good,..just trying to punch it up as much as I can using close to stk or stk parts,..??? they talked about higher compression ratio's,..??? Thanks Frank

Go to the garage section of this website and ask around for a reputable machine/engine building shop in your area. Start there. You can be plenty safe with more than 96s. If you are spending money already than go as big as your budget allows. Doing it twice because you are disappointed that you can't feel the 8 horsepower you get from a small bump in CCs is probably going to REALLY frustrate you. Especially if you are already finding yourself on a limited budget. Ask me how I know.
