Hi everybody,

my name is Roberto and I'm from Turin, Italy. In 2012 I bought a grey 1998 1.7 Puma with 93.000 km - 58.000 miles - in average good conditions, to make it a track day weapon!

My previous car was a 2007 Fiat Panda 100HP, a little funny car, but with big obstacles to the engine development.

Last year I made the first evolutions (suspensions, strut bars, brakes) and tested in the italian Varano de' Melegari Circuit, with great results, remaining in front of a 190hp Abarth 500 and a 155hp Citroen DS3, and also reducing by 4 seconds my previous laptime with the Panda.

The second step was the installation of the Milltek 4-2-1 exhaust manifold with a craft exhaust line, a modified intake and a CPU remap. The result was a good 138hp (compared to the 125 original, both read on the dyno).

I attended two more track days last year (Adria and Imola), with big brake problems...

Imola 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS_k7rbTH6s&list=UUlJem4NFeSdHp_ulaTbEKBA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In last january the biggest work: complete engine work (pistons, head, valves, etc), for a dyno result of 169hp and 196 Nm.

Now I'm watching to partecipate to the Italian Time Attack Series, but first, and that's the reason why I'm writing here, I need to know some specs on the engine development for the finest results. I'm going to ask you all some questions in the appropriate sections.

Hope to find all the answers I need! :roll:

ps: be patient with my english...
