LynxXR3 Guest Posts: n/a	Newbie needs 1.9 HO advice I'm new here as I just bought the car. A 1987 Mercury Lynx XR3 (a.k.a. 87 Escort GT). It has the 1.9 HO motor and I was wondering if there is anyway to squeeze out a few more horses without seriously modifying the engine. I mean like no Turbos or nitrous or cams just little stuff to boost power a bit.
