    1999 Johnson 15HP Upgrade

    Hi I have a fully rebuilt Johnson 2 Stoke, 1999 15 HP engine. It runs real well with very good compression. Is there anything that can be done to the engine to increase bhp/power? My mates who have newer 20HP 4 Stoke engines have that little bit more performance out of their boat. James
