I have a 89 festy with a BP engine in it. I don't know a lot about DOHC motors and just looking for some upgrades for it. I know eventually I want to turbo it. But for now I was wondering what other upgrade people have found. I did find a set of pacesetter headers but that's about all. I would like to put a cam in it as well. just wondering if anyone can point me in right direction.

exhaust cam swap is cheap from the junk yard and hear it gives good gains but thats just what i have read may be some one here has done it and will chime in. -

the same car that the engine you have in the festy came from. you swap out the intake cam for another exhaust cam and BOOM: instant power boost.
since you have a BP, start looking at what the Miata guys are doing to get the most out of their SCCA Solo II cars.
i'm a BIG fan of boost, but i'm thinking that you might want to keep this one NA, there's something about a tweaked out 10,000 rpm beast under the hood...
Build the BP for that, and then you'll be ready for the insanity that is BOOST
think baby steps...Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

Thanks I will start looking a car for that cam. I have no experience with these types of engines but I'm having fun learning about them.1990 Red Festiva STOCK "pregnant roller skate"
