ITC Ed,

I think Mark's suggestion to look into the big bore airflow is a good suggestion, as well as the cam. You can also go .040 over on the bore as well.

Good luck

Actually Campbell, I was kinda going the other way. IIRC, the 1.7 Rabbits all had the 60mm airflow meter and would have to use it w/ a 1.7 engine in ITC. Unless of course you can document that a 1.7 came with a 80mm airflow meter.

I'm pretty sure the 1.6's all came with 80mm airflow meters. If someone is looking to upgrade to a 1.7 in their ITC Rabbit, this might be something to ponder (you'd have to run the smaller airflow meter w/ the 1.7 engine). Also, I don't think that you could get the g-cam allowance for the 1.7 engine. All the "documentation" was done for the 1.6 engine, from what I can remember.

Also, the 1.7 Rabbit only gets the WIDE ratio 5 spd, not even as good as the gearbox allowed in the 1.6 Rabbit in ITC.

All in all, I don't think the 1.7 Rabbit is a good package for ITC. IMHO.
