Ah, a Canadian member, welcome! I'll be over in Vancouver again in July.

 

As said really, i'm sure the obvious's haven't been overlooked, air filters exhausts etc, but obviously no major gains from them.

 

Carb's/TB's?

if you just want to go faster have you looked into other areas such as brakes / suspension / tyers / removing weight from the car (spair seats / wheel / carpet etc) to improved the power to weight ratio

 

tuning engines isnt cheap hense one of the reasons engine conversions are so popular.

ZX Injection as it uses a 3D system to the stoneage Jetronic system

[niklas 1]

Start there and continue with cams (and further CR raise) and TB's when funds allow..
