Tuning the 480 2.0
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the power output of the 2.0 litre engine for a reasonable outlay without compromising the essential "driveability" of the car?
I am looking for approx. 20% increase in BHP & commensurate increase in torque.

RE: Tuning the 480 2.0
 
tried and tested formula will apply ,
uprated camshaft and cylinder head , exhaust , panel filter etc .

the 20% power improvement would certainly compromise some driveability , Fitting a turbo would achieve your needs .
