Re: 0-60 times for 1.7 and 1.8 MK1 'rocco's [hp guesses]

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Get the 80mm dude, I guarantee you'll love it! :) I put it in my old modded
1.7 and couldn't believe the difference. It's the mod that i've felt the
most out of anything (except the new engine of course! :)
The CO is simple to set with your o2 sensor and a dwell meter. shouldn't
take more than 10 minutes.
I have an old thickwalled 80mm i MIGHT get rid of if you cant find one in a
local boneyard. You shouldn't pay more than 10-15 bux for it there however.

You know the difference between the thin and thickwalled 80's right? the
thin has about a 2mm thick wall at the top and the thick has about 5mm
thick at the top. According to Techtonics there IS a horsepower difference,
however when i swapped the thick to the thin i didn't notice a thing. MAYBE
1-2 horsepower difference if your lcky. Also the thin walled is proported
to run a tiny bit more lean(according to Greg Raven), but it doesn't keep
me up at night.
