Hi!

For my second post, I'd like to ask all of you who have tried upgrading a 
NG/NF K-Jetronic engine with a sport-cam (260/270 degrees), polished and 
ported head, free-flow exhaust and K&N airfilter (or part of these mods) how 
does the engine run, what about fuel economy and feel of the engine at 
normal driving (not sporty-driving)...
I'd like to do these mods on my car (85 Coupe Quattro-136 HP), but feel a 
little reticent about the fuel economy (actual highway is about 33-34 mpg) 
because actual fuel price in Belgium is about 5.4 USD per gallon!!!yup you 
put it, it's expensive, you lucky american fellows!!!

I'm waiting for your answers and reactions.

Regards,

Mihnea


PS: I won't consider the 10V/20V turbo upgrade for gearbox/wiring/annual 
technical control reasons...
