Default 1300 hcs sniff

Hello there,

I am the pround owner of a 1300 mk5 escort. It's a great wee run-about but it's just not fast enuff . Im only 18 and con't afford the insurance on a RS, not even an XR2... . I was wondering if there are any ways of gaining performance on the engine (short of removing the back seats but thats too inpractical). i have had the engine rebuilt and boared out to something along the lines of 1400cc but its still slow as a week in the jail. I have been told to consider a set of twin choke webbers but I hear that it will only give power gain at 5000+ rpm.. can someone plz help??

cheers in adv

Whisp.

p.s the falkirk wheel meet was awesome, i want a 3door cossie!!
