Re: Increasing the power 1800 70

Most of us wish we were starting where you are. The B20E is a high compression engine that produces more stock horsepower than just about any non-turbo 4 cylinder Volvo has ever built. I think that I would avoid most "major" work. Port and polish the head and put an IPD header on it. Yes, hardened seats are a must, but I don't think I'd go for bigger valves. That tends to get a bit risky. Wait and see if you are pleased with what you have done before you go for the cam. This will keep the car very drive-able, yet give you more horsepower.
