making an 8v just a tad peppier question

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

A nice mild hydraulic cam (in the style of the N or G grind on the
mechanical side) in it, get a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold for it, port the intake
at the TB and put a audi5000 TB, will not make a monster ace car oiut of it,
but should make it peppier for sure.

now if the cabbie has trouble keeping up on the hwy with the rocco might
consider changing 5th gear or perhaps the pinion gears.

=>Wife has an 89 cabbie and really doesn't like having to hang way back when

=>type info, I'd love to do that, but not for something she mainly uses to
=>cruise around town in.  Just want some ideas for when she's

=>engine too much.  The cabbie is running a 8v hydro enigine so those great
=>solid lifter cams are outta the question too, bummer.
