Could just buy a decent race engine and not wait the month for a modified engine...

Thats always an option too. If you just need more power for say.... truggy or whatever, dropping a head shim or using a different manifold or pipe can make a huge difference.

I havent considered shimming differently, thanks for the idea

Your OP was extremely vague.... If all you were wanting was a bit more power, ask how to do so, instead of asking for a mod engine specifically. Being a cock in reply isnt going to get you any help.

Head shims, venturi size, pipe combos, tune, clutch setup will all play a big part in getting more out of an engine....

The Orions dont come with much crank timing, a big gain can be had by opening that up. I do some work for guys Australia and Nz.

Extremely vague? I asked if anyone knew of engine modifiers in Australia. To me thats a very specific question with a very specific answer. A website, name of a person i can email etc etc. In no way did your comment contribute anything towards answering my question

Thanks

I ship to Aus all the time..takes roughly 4 days... But due to shipping fee's its smarter to just buy a fresh engine....Killer deal on the RCC MC3 Ceramic combo with 2046...

Thanks Maximo, i was really hoping to stick with the Orion engines but i get them locally cheaper in my dollar (which is worth less) then i can from usa, even before i take coversion rates into the equation. And unfortunately the aussy dollar is doing really poorly at the moment.

I believe it was helpful, youre clearly not happy with how the engine is performing, or you wouldnt be looking for an engine modification business... so, invest in a better, higher performing engine. I wasnt happy with how my Alphas were performing, so i went to OS.
