Consider, balancing all the moving parts (this helps the engine turn
higer RPMS with less chance of mishap)... Porting and polishing
the head, getting a header (this helps the engine breath better...
engine breathes beter it turns faster RPMS).
Did you see the British Car Magazine last month? theres a guy out
east that supercharged his TR6. THAT would tack on a couple of
ponies... Ya might have to upgrade your brakes
Were it me doing it, I'd do the balancing, blueprinting, porting and
polishing, first. You'll pick up some "go" with making the engine
more efficient... Then go on to the bigger better carbs, super-
chargers, electronic watchimacllits, roller-rockers etcetera...
