The 1.6 is simply more of the same reason we use a higher lift cam.................more intake valve opening results in bigger gulps of Fuel/air mixture means only one thing.............more power. Same difference as bigger valves. I am sure somebody can tear this theory apart, but very simply put, the old school quick power gimmick was to instal a set of 1.6 intake rockers giving your stock cam a higher lift. simple power boost. It's kinda like this...............the more wood in the fire.................the hotter the stove!
