Can I boost my performance of the engine!!

I got the Stage 2.1 head and hi torque cam from ACR. I went with a DMTL Weber though not their SU kit. I get 20mpg on the lanes round here and about the same at 80 on the motorway. I'd probably get better mileage locally but I spend probably 70% of the time on the choke. I've had 25mpg on one 45mph long run. I measure full tank to full tank for accuracy.

I've tuned the Carb at stoich for idle and cruise and very slightly rich at WOT. I could probably get another couple of mpg by dropping one idle jet size and one main jet 1/2 size without affecting driveability.

I've also put on Range Rover diffs and an overdrive. It now drives lovely, uses less fuel and will fly up hills (even with the higher diff ratio).

I've spent a fair amount on the engine and enjoyed every minute of it. If you're not a tinkerer or got limitless time but deep pockets I'd be very tempted by their 2.8 engine...again though I'd still put DMTL Weber on it....

Just added a spare wheel carrier on the back instead of carrying it on the bonnet it now goes round corners at speed instead of acting like a bucking broncho!
