Why waist time with an unmodified motor to compete against modified ones???? Get yourself a modified motor(353 if you want) or modify your existing OS tz for $85 to $100 !!!! Then after that, redo all the clutch Work you want... This notion that you got to start with poor performing motor before you upgrade to a really modified motor is a waist of time and money , and only contributes to further frustration of the newbies.....

there is no point spending $85 to $100 on modifying a used motor. for all we know it might have only4 or 5 litres worth of life in it. If you modify an engine it's best to do it before it has been used to get the most out of your investment.
