about 5mm TRD headgasket

My portuguese friends, what do you suggest for my engine?

I'm thinking in the same setup as André... Is it enough or can i go a little bit further?

Thanks

if you want to keep the standard ecu and save yourself a lot of work .... go to apardal setup .....
don't forget to shave the head a good bit, because the cams make you loose torque .....

Yes a greater timing will lose torque down low, but what about increassing the lift? Because 7.5 mm lift isn't much even for a stock engine.. i think there's alot of potential to be unlocked.. or am i wrong?

Im very curious about this thing. Increasing compression sure increases your torque; but the question is, wouldnt you gain more with higher lift cams, than with shaving your head?? (given that you want to play on the safe side, and keep the non-interferance) what is better?

Apolan, increasing static CR is necessary when using higher duration cams (resulting CR is lower than with "stock" duration cams).
Higher lift is always better option for street (IMHO).
