Hi i'm new to prokarts and have done two sprint races so far, on with the kart set up horriffically camber and castor wise, thats sorted, and second in the pooring rain, which was a treat.

I've done some work to some gx160 T1's and wondered what else i might do,

I use an old solo chassis so bit behind the curve against the wrights and ms etc.

GX140 emulsion tubes
gx200 head gaskets
stiffer valve springs
8 degree advance key
debaffled exhausts
inner taken out of air filter
fans blades trimmed every other one

I have just got new tyres and hoping all this add's some more pace to my laps, anything else except cams and 14cc heads i can do on a budget?

kart is old but running well, i have driven other karts and i'm up to pace on those so just wanted this as best as it can be, i dont mind being last, but close enough to keep chasing then down.
