after christmas i'm going to be looking into getting some track experience for the first time, my car is already on skunk2 coilovers and has after market brakes.
eventually i'll get into fine tuning the suspension set up for road/track use BUT..
first i want to start increasing the power output of the car.
i'm not looking for straight line speed of course i want it to be nippy around a track N/A
my first question, when looking at used cams i can only find ones that are advertised for B16, are they the same fitment across the b16 range or do i need b16b specific cams?
second question is the same again, intake manifolds b16b specific?
third question, by the looks of it i have a 2.5" cat back with buddy club spec 3 back box? does that sound ok? and is what is the optimal exhaust circumference for a b16b?
lastly, is it really worth trying to tune the b16b engine on a reasonably low budget? or is it worth doing the kswap on a tight budget as they are more tuneable? the downside is that i#ll have to take the car (my daily) off road for a few months and rent a garage as i only have two parking spaces in a communal car park at home..
any input is greatly received and thanks in advance!
