Changing the block is quite a messy process, especially when it has to involve the JPJ & so on tongue.gif
Well, you may want to try lightened & dampened pulleys smile.gif
The point of this is t o push your stock engine's efficiency. Lighter moving parts = less consumption.

Cams are going to push you back about RM1.5K. I can offer you a package for RM1.3K, but you really have to stretch your budget a little for this.

BTW, what's your piping size?

actually lightened/dampened pulleys are too overrated where they only give like very minimal power gain.

well... they don't actually add power, they just free up some little power losses

i would say a full, well-tuned exhaust system is the best bet.

my friend got a used set of Pipercross 272' camshafts plus adjustable cam pulleys for just about RM500 ... u might wanna think about that.

Well, the point of the pulleys are to increase power transfer efficiency. Less weight to pull = better power transfer. If the engine is badly tuned, the pulley would not make a significant difference, now would it? The rest is all the placebo-affect taking over tongue.gif

And as for the cams, 272 is just about right for fast road specs. Not too high, not too rough. And RM500 for the cams & pulley is suspiciously cheap... unsure.gif Hell, a good set of adjustable pulleys would cost as much for some cars tongue.gif
