I NEED MORE!!!
Due to the fact that I just got a computer, this is my first post on this
list. I was (and still am) excited to see that there is a place for the
Quattro enthusiast. I own a early production 1983 Quattro coupe that has
been highly modified. Here is what I have done: Intended Acceleration
computer and wastegate spring, Schrick 276 degree camshaft, Extrude Hone
(intake & exhaust manifolds, turbo housings), 2mm larger intake valves,
Manley stainless steel valves, port and polished head, custom build
exhaust system (2 chamber race flowmaster, that's it!), Raceware (head
studs, rod bolts, main caps), total seal piston rings, and adjustable
boost. I have no reservations about running over 20psi of boost (with 108
octane race fuel). The brakes and suspention have been upgraded
accodingly. My question to everybody out there is: how do I get more
power out of this thing? Don't get me wrong, it is extremely fast (the
Corvette who's doors I blew off going UP vail pass and the Andial 930 who
was BARELY losing me at 140mph will attest to this), but I want more! I
know 20valve is the ultimate answer, but costly. If anyone has any
insight please let me know. Also, if anyone has any questions about doing
any of these modifications to their Quattro coupe, I would be happy to
answer them.
Thanks, Ben
