With a stock 1.7 how much weight would you have to lose via FG/CF hoods,lids and such to see a performance gain? This is a purely theorectical question regarding how weight affects the performance of the engine, I am not planning on doing this... |

math has never been my forte, so thanks for that mueller.
Heres my problem (besides being bored at work): This club....you hang out here for awhile and all of a sudden your trying to figure out what engine config you should be gunning for next! Which is a compliment of course... my 1.7 isn't tired and runs great, was rebuilt by a pro ( ~10K miles on it) and its fun to drive around the city where the roads dont let you go too fast and yet... well you get the point...aaron ideally I'd like to build a 2056 and probably throw some carbs on it, but I want to stick with the /4. Going to a /6 is too much cost/time/work for me, it would be a bad idea.... |
