Re: Anything left besides Heads, Cam, or Nitrous

In terms of making power looks like Chris is right.

1. 1.6rr's
2. underdrive pulleys (I would do a search and read more posts about them and you can decide for yourself if you want them)
3. And maybe an Electric water pump, but that's usually something you put on when your stocker goes out, maybe like 5hp to be had there...

You could always do some more suspension mods like LCA's or an adjustable TA also...

I thought the 1.6 rr were very minor gains, and there is talk of having to replace stock springs with atleast lt4 ones for some insurance? Am I wrong?

Yes, but also its in preperation for future mods. (Ahem... cam... ahem)
Gains are fairly decent, even on a stock cam. 1.6 gives you more lift = more flow. Also less friction, so they take less power away from the motor.
