New Heads? ECM Tuning?
186s are good heads. 63cc chambers and good flowing intake runners. Use premium gas and you are good to go.

There are a couple of places (do a Forum search) that do mail order chips. You would have to do some data logging to give them feed back on the chip.
I had mime done by Tom Wong in Vancouver Washington....about a 10 hour drive North....but going that way already.
He charged $500 for the chip. Set up the car on his dyno, with computer attached to data log and also a sniffer in the tail pipe. He actually burned three chips and tried each one....again on the dyno and data logged.
I am going to have him burn another....I currently have a "street tune". Tom is going to burn two chips....one for running Premium fuel for drag racing with advance built in and another daily driver. With the 85, you pull the chip and plug in the new one. Something you can't do on the newer computers that are flash burned.
