Re: 2.0 questions (kippa)

How radical was your P&P? Uhh... Hone your intake and exhaust manifolds... Bored throttle body... Uhhh header... I think you have enough engine work to get something out of a header... Otherwise your pretty much out of options for under $300.. Your looking at bigger pistons with a higher compression ratio or stock size w/ higher ratio... Uhhh knife edge crank and fun stuff like that...
 
Re: 2.0 questions (WhiteBoy2.0)

Well....you can get a Jacobs ICE Pak ignition for $300 which'll add some nice amounts of torque (you'll feel the difference), but then you'll need a battery relocation kit (Summit Racing sells them) for $50. You might also want to pick up an Optima battery, since they don't leak. Ok....so it's a bit over $300....but after everything you've done, that's about the best "bang for the buck". You'll improve low to mid-range power, which'll complement your nice new cam and P&P job that generated some nice power in the upper rev range.....and you just improved your handling quite a bit by removing 50lbs from your engine bay and moving it to the trunk.
Unfortunately, you're to the point where mods are going to be a lot more expensive now. I was looking at a Brospeed header myself, and it was nearly $400......
