best ways to get HP out of my 16v kick motor?

[kauaiboy89]

its stock and i was thinking a real good intake and exhaust and headers?

any ideas?

any other ways to get more hp?

nitrous oxide

Where/when do you need this extra power?

highway, crawling, mud bogs, mall parking lot?

how often do you need more power?

need more input

last 2 post do nothing for you, IGNORE them
for a boost in power"
header + exaust
shave the head
install a electric fan
port match head with intake and exaust
also a cam will help
the best is to do all above but id hold of on shaving head

[kauaiboy89]

yes! it came with a real nice quiet electric fan

yea i was planning on the headers and exhaust

y shave the head?

wont my gas milage get shittier if i go with a cam?

and i know u said ignore the post above but if i had to say why i want more power it would be because of mudding, "riding sand" (thats whaat we call driving on the sand here in hawaii), and highway...the power for crawling is real good already...my steering wheel also feels kinda loosey goosey...whats that mean? its from a kick and it turns my 37's surprisingly good but the steering wheel is loose and kinda turns to the right a little bit...why is that so?

where are you in the rev range when riding the dunes?
How many RPM when you cruise on the highway?

We need to know where in the rpm range you are so we can recommend how to add power.

The doug thortley header will add top end power. I'd assume you have a 2" exhaust already?

Do you have a THROUGH FLOW muffler? Chaimbered (flow master, etc) mufflers do NOT flow as well as through flow mufflers (think cherry bomb, but in a standard muffler size..).

The electric fan you have freed' up a few ponies already.

My vote:

Dough thortley header
2" or 2" 1/8" exhaust
HIGH flow cat
mandrel bent exhaust
free flowing muffler
and a nice cone filter.

Maybe a 25 shot of nitrous is in order? 50 is too big for the 1.6 imo

It'd be worth it to spend some time on a dyno, checking to see where and how much power you can get from doing different things.

You ask for more power im telling you how to get more power if you want better gas mileage then put less strain on the engine like flowing better. Also getting the best spark for optimal burn
But tell me why a shaved head would get less gas per mile
