[Fot] Suppose you were building a motor for your favorite sunday street car

[Jack W. Drews]

>My two cents worth for a warmed up street motor:


Mill head to give 9 to 9.5:1 compression ratio
install exhaust header
install street type (3/4) performance camshaft
install lighter flywheel

the first three will give you 15 to 20 hp increase, the lighter 
flywheel will give more acceleration.

All the other things that may be done to the engine return less bang 
for the buck, and most of the other mods help only from 3500 rpm up - 
so if it's a normal street driver, the engine will seldom see the rev 
range where it will benefit. If you want to win autocrosses, that's a 
different story.
