[alfa] Quadraflows and Spica modifications

[Alfajgt1@xxxxxxx]

In AD # 861 Gregory Youngblood asked what modifications Wes Ingram 
recommended for 2 liter Spica injected Alfas for those in search of more power.

I rummaged around and managed to find some notes from the 1995? Seattle mini 
convention's tech session with Wes Ingram and Tom Sahines. Here's what Wes had 
to say about Spica modifications:

Throttle bodies enlarged to 40 mm flow 12% more air than stock.
There is a 7 HP loss by removing the air box.
The stock Spica box good for up to 170 HP.
Using an Ingram modified HP Spica pump and a 7L or 11 mm camshaft, max HP 
arrives at 5800 RPM.
I'm not sure if I got this right, but Wes claimed up to 140 HP (wow!) at the 
rear wheels with these modifications and 35 degrees distributor advance.

Please bear in mind that these are 8 year old notes and some data may have 
changed in the meantime.

Happy modifications!
