Nice spec
What T38 are you running as a TT T38 could make upto 480bhp a UT T38 would do around 450bhp.

Not sure mate was on the car when I bought it , is there anyway I can find out if it's ut38 or tt38 ? It's in good condition with no play what so ever so I thought I would use it for now.
I do wanna upgrade to gt30 but the funds are a bit low now so it will have to wait !

A UT T38 is the same size as a T34

A TT T38 is bigger and has Turbo Technics written on it.

I would swap the BD14 exhaust for a Standard cam, will drive a lot better.

What inlet are you using ?

Hanks for the help mate , I had a look early and it's got turbo technics on !
So it's a tt38 that's good for 480 bhp.

I've got a bd16 inlet and a bd14 ex.
The head is bein rebuilt now , should have it back for the weekend
Can't wait !!!

I'm going to have a complete stab in the dark guess and say 462bhp at the flywheel. Wonder how accurate that will be?

I would still change the exhaust cam for a standard one.

Going to agree with the tall one , unless your cam timing has been played with to get the most out of the BD14 a standard cam will gain you responce.

Got my head back last sat just a bit of plumbing to do at the weekend and it should be done I hope , you got me thinking now about the ex cam ! Can't do it at the mo my funds have run out ! How bad will the lag be with a bd14 ?

I have no idea how it will be to be honest.

The standard exhaust cam is good enough to see 500bhp
