RE: Getting More HP

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

You'll never hit 200hp without some sort of enhanced aspiration. The recipe
for 170hp is hot cams (268deg), chip or other enrichment, 2L displacement,
ported/polished head. The stock 1.8l head is not going to do it for you. A
50mm intake will help you hit the hp figure, too. However, it will erode
some of your torque.

Are you sure you're not trying to duplicate your VTEC-driving buddy's power
curves? Who needs big hp numbers when you've got off the line grunt? Yeah,
Honda numbers get the chicks, but VW torque can win you races. My
recommendation for cheap speed is to do the mods above and then add a
well-planned nitrous system.
