Charles:
Can you expand on "carb cars can be really hopped up a lot"? Like what?
I have a carb car and my motor needs work anyway (valve seals at a minimum), so instead of fixing it to original, I plan to hop it up to get more HP.
I have been talking to Nick, but I also want your opinions.

Charles, it's a carb car. By "really hopped up", any suggestions ? Thanks

a lot depends on if your motor is injected or carburated--injected motors have limited upgrade options( ie daytona pistons) but carb cars can be really hopped up a lot.

This guy is an absolute pleasure to talk with, and is a Ferrari V8 master. Trust me. Check out the post in the General Ferrari posts. I cannot recommend him enough.

Apart from the obvious ones like sports exhaust, air filter and electronic ignition, what possibilities are there to get more power out of a 308 engine (without resorting to major surgery !)

Are there any suppliers of Ferrari performance bits out there ?
