Hi Wayne & torquecars crew,

My apologies in advance to all if I've posted this in the wrong thread, but Wayne has asked me "What are you planning mod wise for your st170?" (perhaps Wayne will move it to the appropriate thread, ta man).

I forgot to mention that I am very curious what mods I can do to the engine? I am of the impression that the 2 litre Duratec in the ST170 is already fairly tricked up (I'm suspicious that it may not be up to extra engine mods). I hear a lot of talk about improving the air flow into the heads can help. Could I expect many benefits from a richer tune, valve timing adjustments etc.? Very curious to hear anyones thoughts / input.

Cheers all,
Hideo
