well since i've got a new car now, the 3gee is just sitting there. i have the head off and still need to get it checked out for cracks and whatnot. anyways, i dont want to go this far and not do something to the head. i'm wondering if i should send it off to Gude or another performance company and have it fixed up for me. there are a few machine shops here that do performance enhancement to cylinder heads but mostly of the domestic type.
here's what i want to do. 272 delta cam, stiffer valve springs from paeco, possibly port match the header and head, machine the intake manifold and port match it, already have the 32/36 weber. other than that, i suppose i could use larger valves, probably prelude valves recut to my specs. i'm not touching the bottom end at this point, i do plan to raise the compression slightly with the head being machined, so 93 octane + is going to be needed. that all sounds good to me and is really not too expensive. but, maybe y'all could suggest some more mods i can do with the head. mind you this is the carbureted A20. i may try and get some of this done over the summer. i really want this car back on the road though. i'm just wondering if the auto trans will hold up with much more power to it. being that said, i'll be adding a tranny cooler so not to burn up another one.
