Do I need to have my distributor recurved? I am using a stock 2.7 distributor on my carburetor 2.7 L engine I understand that to have a optimal performance a recurve is needed however is it really worth $500? My car is not set up for racing?
In other words will icy $500 worth of improvement from the modification ? My distributor is otherwise in excellent condition. |

Yes!
Me and a friend of mine compared our two 3.0l webber 914's. They were almost identical, except mine had the dizzy re-curved and just a little more cam lift. Mine had significant more low end punch. It seemed to really help bring the motor alive. I would recommend it, but it's not required. maybe save it as a possible future upgrade but much easier to do now. |
