    Cheers for the comments.

    It'll be staying small block and N/A. I'm hoping to increase the bhp too, but will have to wait and see how things turn out.

    I'm wanting to get it on track this year.

    revving to 10k to get more power? :D

    I do like CP's totally relaxed response to fire... "oh something is burning, I shall waft my cap at it and swear to make it go away"

    I had to laugh when he told me he was on the side of the road in just his socks (as my pedals are so close together he can't drive the car with his shoes on, ).

    It won't be revving to 10k, maybe 9,999 Nah, not that high. Looking at trying to find a few extra bhp where possible. The handling will be the main objective. My plan is to let CP do all the geometry tweaks and testing to his car first, then copy him, .

    Adam, can't explain why I had no confidence with the car. Most likely down to the fact that I hadn't driven it for such a long time. Prior to it going bang, CP said it was handling well after he set it up, which probably would have given me more confidence with the car knowing he was happy with it; it's all psycological with Novas,
