more go 850 1996

Whilst i am thinking of things to put on my job sheet, i was wondering about getting more get up and go out of my 850. Is there adjustment worth doing with the cam sprockets as i heard a comment some years ago about moving the cam one tooth of the belt. Look forward to your thoughts . David

You can soup up the suspension for better handling.
If you live in "Snowmageddon" get studded snow tires and amaze everyone
with 4X4 performance (providing the 4X4 doesn't have studs)

The Boston area seems devoid of snow this winter and only a few trivial
dustings of snow, I'm hoping to stall installation of my snows until next winter.
(Now I've done it! and we'll get 40 days and nights of constant heavy snow!)

Do not mess with the timing belt or sprocket position, that is for racing only and with a different ECM.

If you have an NA, there is not much you can do except a good tune up and clean filters.

On a turbo, you might want to consider a new boost controller.
