Well, sort of a useful tip. If by a small chance you own an 8 valve Integrale or a VX Beta (I did say small chance) then a relatively simple and useful tweak for the engine is to retro-fit the inlet cam from the Strada 130TC which provides a useful amount of extra lift and oomph (in a standard VX about 5hp and in an Integrale around 12hp extra - more possibly).

I had to post something in here, it's Lancias after all

These little titty bits are worth a bar of gold ..another is if you put the punto Mk1 75 cam into the 1242 engine is also does the same kind of thing..cheap mod and gives you more Vroooom..
