Need more power

There has to be more things I can do to get more power from the 1.6 I put a ram/cold air induction, egr return tube mod, intake temp mod, removed 1st muffler, replace 2nd muffler with straight through design. Anything else I CAN DO TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME MORE POWER! Any help

Thanks

Someone was talking about a larger throttle body.... I thought there was a post about putting a nubira TB on a lanos.

I'm not really fond of the idea but as long as the diameter isn't too huge the ECU should be able to adjust.

A header would definitly help.... grounding kits are allways good for a few HP.

It's hard to make any serious "all motor" power without access to a reprogramed ECU.

The engine is capable of 150hp but it needs someone to do some serious dyno time with new fuel/ignition maps.

Oh... another thing is adjustable cam gears and sport cams.... these are fairly easy upgrades.

DVE in Australia has Big Bore TBs for like $275 shipped. Talk to Blinkme about them.
