If tuning was so easy I would have turned my bravo into a dragster in no time. Life ain't that easy mate!
But if you want relatively quick results without messing up too much with the engine then I would suggest you fit a Superchip. Dont forget the usual 4 in 1 exhaust and a performance aircleaner.
That should give you around 20 to 25bhp extra to your standard engine!
Good luck!

If you were outrun by your mates 1.8 Golf 16v either your HGT is Donald Duck'd or your driving ability needs to be looked at! The Golf 16v is almost twice as heavy as the HGT and has a lot less torque. Try letting your car rev over 2,500 or take the trailer off!

Agreed, the Fiats are not nasty german ploddy cars, you need to rev them to get anywhere quick.
Ignore idle to 3000RPM, keep it between 3500 and redline and enjoy! It won't harm it unless you do really hamfisted gearchanges or drive around in 1st bouncing off the rev limiter.

Your changeing @ 7300rpm?!? Sounds like your driving skills need improveing. I raced a 1.8 16v GTI last night, I passed him at a 130mph indicated. I drive a 1.8 HLX.

Re: Redline?
Aint redline automatically about 7,100rpm? How the hell are you chaging at 7,300 then?

redline
Just because a car can red line at say 7,300 revs doesn't mean that to get the best acceleration you should change at the limit.
You will probably/maybe find that all you are doing is entering a flat spot so high up the rev range, and would do better changing lower e.g. 6000 or even lower at 5500 to take advantage of the steeper power curve and torque. Remember torque reaches its limit sooner than BHP and torque is what pulls you when accelerating and BHP is an indication of the total power of an engine.
This is why diesels pull like crazy an seem more powerful than they really are at slower speeds etc.
Remember its not the peak power that counts, its the area under the graph.
This is why i prefer my TL1000r to an inline four, you can short shift out of corners and ride the torque rather than chasing revs.
This is just a thought.
