Nice spec, and very good figures mate, Humm i think maybe i should invest in internal mods then for next year...
Its good when you have something N/A and fast but its something I have found you have to very comitted to finacially cause a few times I have thought how much easier a turbo engine would have been and probably got over 400bhp for the money I have spent but now its running right I would change it for any turbo engine. :thumb:Quote:

I'll think on it lol
Well It looks like the hard work has paid off got it to york on sun 2nd managed to get a 13.1 on a naff day looking forward to a dry warm day if there is ever one lol.
I will get some pics up of the engine bay etc
i think we need some more pic on here of this sexy little thing
I will get some pics shortly mate
A bit of an update seeing as I havent added for a while went to the last york and found problems with the engine presurising the oil and water got one run out the car and left a trail of oil up the track. limped the car home and found the hea was worped on cylinder 3. After the head was checked been told its cream crackered. So im reverting to a standard head for totb. then think about modding the head again so watch what happens next.
Got my head back this weekend will have the valve springs swapped and it running again (fingers crossed) then ready for totb lol
bad news about the head but on the plus side managed a fooking good time
I know its quite scary to think if it will run a flat 13 with a warped head what will it do when the engine is spot onQuote:
