Was asked by the tuners to get the head i asked him why not get a 1.4 sri head he said it doesnt really matter because there identical heads with the exception that a 1.6 gte head just needs a skim to get good compression and delivers the same power. Plus he has used both heads on previous novas etc and found after a good skim and porting/polishing they are a big gain in power. I can tell you that the car is a monster if you get a big straight and boot it in every gear she torque steers and wheels spins in third its a right handfull and i am dumstruck with how much power it has.
I get people in for a drive and they get out saying whats under the bonnet and when i say a tuned 1.4 they look gone out :thumb: very funny
