hope this is the rite section

just wondering how easy...and for what price i can tune an rs2000 engine (escort) to get a bit more out of one. iv heard powerchips are worthwhile? but other than that i havnt a clue what i can do to a budget.

i have a set of dellorto twin 40's lying about, would they make any difference? its only going to be a weekend/track car so fuel consumption doesnt bother me but i dont want to be loosing out (wouldnt mind the sound tho!) only two things done so far, the egr (think thats rite, on the manifold?) has/is being removed and a full stainless system with a decat

any help appreciated!
