2.5 v6 is a mass lovely engine but it has weight to match with a hefty gearbox

I think you should go for a 1.3 Nova SR engine with a wild cam and some carbs

totally different then and save even more weight

I remember years ago my Dad used to have a Cav MkII SRi 130. He had his set up on the rolling road by the GM DealerSport Nova rally driver David Metcalfe (think thats what he was called) and it went very well

clutch went shortly after that

if your going to tune... you really should just get an XE in the first place fella...

as someone said in your other post... you will always be playing catch up with the XE's when you start tuning it
