I was browsing another forum and came across this comment in a post from 2007.
This winter I will be doing something to the top end of the engine... did some one have any spare 54mm throttle bodies lying around?? I am intending to also change the gearing a little and get some full dynosets done
If, and I repeat if, I can do the engine mods I want to this winter, I am honestly aiming for 140 bhp... madness, but is a target :)
Short of a later model RSVR motor / big bore / turbo combo, I am trying to think how on earth that may be achieved with some top end mods.
Any ideas?

140 is achievable, just need to find a dyno that doesnt compensate properly...

think that was my typo.....
iirc i meant 130 :)
(And am closer to it than i was then... think i am around 124/5 atm and think i can get another 2 or 3 before too long
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

New heads being 1768 quid each aside could you skim the heads slightly to increase compression?
