g`day Ross,
In my opinion, the easiest/cheapest/best way would be to turbo it.
theres an easy ~30% power increase(more if you want), you`ll get better

fuel

economy, driveability and it`ll be quieter.
But if you dont want a turbo, then yeah flattops &/or an a87(L18) or

ported

w53(L16) head with a 270+degree cam should give a noticable improvement
without losing too much driveability/economy. or if you just want a bit

more

pickup then you could just go with a bit lower diff ratio.
but wouldnt you rather have boost? ;)

Can anyone tell me the easiest/cheapest/best way to get more out of my

datto

with L20. I've got extractors, twin 45's and a polished head. Is

there

a

better head option z18 or z20? Or can I weld the existing head to get

better

compression? Are flattop pistons the way to go and whats the most

ideal

cam

for this sort of work-74 or 76 degree? Keeping in mind it'll be my

daily

runner, I don't want anything too crazy that will draw unecessary

attention.

Any advice would be great!

Cheers Ross
