more power???
In Mexico City i'm down about 30% in power due to altitude. Are there any engine mods that can get me a little bit back? I have Termi 2-1-2 and ECU.
It will not pull the front wheel up without some coaxing in first gear.

Make sure the spark plug is working in the 2nd cylinder, that should help.  Aloha Alex
Have it mapped on a dyno for your climate.

What altitude are you?
I'm at 4600' MSL and I can power wheelie second and back with the stock exhaust, even third.
Maybe too much of the traditionally bad, Mexican fuel??

yes, this seems more like a personal problem with not being able to get it up. . Add some tequila to your, uhm, "gas tank" which will help you get it up and stay up.

Ported heads with the DP cams and an TPO intake kit and you pickup a bunch.
