The best insurance friendly mods for a young driver are to leave everything as standard and optimise what you have.

On a typical A+ engine in good health in factory trim with stock factory settings, you normally see 38 to 40hp @ flywheel.

By only re-cruving the distributer and fitting a custom needle to get the engine to its optimum settings I usually see a 5 to 6hp increase.

Fitting a stg1 kit on top of this and retuning would only see around another 2hp.

in my view if you want maximum bang for buck without fitting exhaust/manifolds etc then just optimise what you have. You also get the added benefit of people saying to you when you take theem for a drive 'this goes well what have you done to the engine?' Look at their face when you say nothing its standard!!


For more info contact MLMotorsport on 01474 825123 and ask about ACDodd optimised tuning sessions. the benefits are smoother runing lower fuel consumption and much better performance. All brough about by improving combustion efficiency.

Remember, it is not considered a modification if you skim the head by up to 0.025" as that is a 'service repair' to correct any uneveness in the head surface.

As this is a low comp pre-A+ engine +1 for cooperman's comment. If you include a standard valve job while you are at it that will see the absolute maximum from a stock setup.
