Ideas on how to improve economy&preformance?

how much can you advance the IP without harming the engine?
can you wrap a fuel line around the oil filter housing to act a a fuel heater?
I read somethin about boreing out the throtle body how hard is that?

Some fuel treatment, good injectors, fuel filters.....

Just keep it in good shape. I dont mind the lack of power, because I know you can rev the hell out of the engine.

Have fun driving my dream car, but get the manual trans in there as soon as possible.

i agree

just make sure it is in good tune. correct timing, clean filters and the wheel bearings not too tight. keep the tires full and dont drive over 72 mph.

best way to save fuel is to leave it sitting in the driveway!

I wish I had a dime everytime someone chimed in about getting more out of his 240.

No offense intended Kirk, just amusing.
