Re: horsepower question (skills68)
Not clear on your question, what motor are you referring to?
In general coils do not make hp, they insure proper ignition. An electric fan can provide more hp over a mechanical fan and also keep coolant temps lower. A larger TB will make more power over 48mm with a motor that requires more breathing such as a heads/cam or stroker application.

Re: horsepower question (skills68)
a 52mm TB might help, if you were more descriptive about your motor, a 58mm is worthless in my opinion.
electric fan might give some hp, but just a couple
an ignition upgrade is really only necessary for high rpm motors, but it couldnt hurt. Wont give any hp until you get real high rpm tho
