if you don't raiose the compression, get some fuel into the engine and
be able to tuen the carbs, all the valve in the world won't help. the
later cars had less compression, more restrictions, etc. just
increasing the valve size does not make the "bang" any bigger when the
spark plug ignites the fuel. the fuel needs to be compressed, then the
bang is bigger and the power goes up. my daughter's '74 tr6 puts out
140 - 145 hp. approx 9.5 cr, an s2 cam (we have themaster to grind this
cam) and su carbs. turn key starting, reliable and good performance.
