more h.p.

[krammit]

is there any way to get more h.p. other than put bigger pistons in.I have a 1776 but wouldn't mind more umphff.the guy that built it for me said that I will want more eventually.I also want to know if you need other than stock cv joints with more hp.(1900 or so)

[Geoff]

Please give us a little miore info on your current set up, carb or carbs? what dist? exhaust? cam? ratio rockers? all this will help us tell you what can be done to increase your HP.

[Bruce]

Also, what heads are on it.

What are you going to do with the car?  Drag racing with slicks?

[krammit]

vw guy built it and told me the only mods on it are the carbs( dual kads) and the exhaust, other than that I'm guessing everything else is stock.

easy yo get more horse power, 1st give it a tune up that can add 7-10 hp, then u can put a stinker exhaust or straight pipe it, then u cen put hot plug in but risk breakign some things, then u can put a super chrager and then the rest is pretty much internal of then egine ,up graded cam lifters  valves ect ect

trash talk what u can... i know my stuff if youd like to race

[James Buchan]

LOL Nice

[52 split]

it would not be much of a race if your engine still runs backwards as per your most recent help post.as for the og post other than some ratio rockers there is not much more for bolt on hp. 1776 is a nice easy to maintain engine. ie less dollars spent, more time driving.bigger engines bigger heartaches, if you can not do all the work yourself. there is no such thing as a $500.00, 150 hp motor for sale used or new. just my 2cents

There are actually a lot of options out there for you. You could try this modification.

Wait 'till I show up with my 1200cc of fire breathing fury!!! I'll take you all on.

[Billyisgr8]

hehehe.....1600cc  engines can go fast you know guys     Maybe we'll see a low 10 this year with a 1600cc powered beetle?       I might have to enter the stock "modified" engine challenge if Silas will bend the rules abit.

Hey Krammit you can add a set of street style 1.25:1 ratio rockers and a heavy pulley. This will give you more bottom end torque (drivability). These can be transferred easily to a 1914cc later.

A capacitive discharge ignition will add to the combo as well. Something like an MSD 6 with multiple capacitive discharge really helps with bottom end, emmisions and drivability and can be used on any size engine.

I bet those carbs could use setting and jetting as well! That always helps.

I use Stock CV's in my rail I clearanced a bit for a little more travel. They were used when I pput them in and now their used and abused Just ask GMB!  :DI have a 1914 (going 2275 I now have all the parts for) I've pulled S@#t loads of stuff out of some crazy places, CJ's, SUV's and touch wood all has been good!

My stock cv's that were also used,  were good to high 11's in the 1/4 running slicks.  Once I was running deep 11's then they were breaking every other run.  So I would say you are good up to 180 hp using type 1 cv's.
