Looks like a tasty build, but he could have had 145bhp with the standard inlet, so those jenvey's aren't giving a great deal are they?
Cool engine.
But fit similar items to a 16v head, and get a 30/40bhp gain.
I know what id rather have TBH
GRRR! Its not a bloody Group A engine!!!
Pisses me off how everyone calls a non standard part or engine "Group A" spec. Group A means it adheres to the homologation papers!!! No ifs, no buts.
Tis' a decent spec engine, but he knows little about specifications if he thinks its a Group A engine. Thing is, people read it and believe it.
I'm not too impressed personally.
Seems like alot of expensive kit for something that doesn't make an awefull lot more compared to mine.

I agree with the last three posts, you can get 5bhp less whilst retaining the standard inlet manifold (which the group A build did), so all that money spent on the jenvey bodies is wasted, might not have been if it was a 16v though.
