i'm unsure what bhp HGT's have been taken to but i know they are not the best engine fiat ever produced, i've heard of at least 3 people putting rods through the block.
so unless you want to spend money making the engine stronger i.e. steel rods, crank, forged pistons then there isn't a lot you can do really to "tune" the HGT engine.
I have driven an HGT and found it nice to drive as stanard but i wouldn't really do much to the engine.
