If there was a readily available 16v head to swap onto an A series I wouldnt have gone so far tuning them on a 5 port head instead, I think its a bit perverse to limit yourself by using a CVH head TBH
I still think the results are impressive though, but as I said, I dont follow the records so didnt know what it was.
I wasnt saying others shouldnt be into them, merely that im not.
just for the record a CVH head makes more power than a 16v zetec head at the same cfm flow rate better burn but the 16v beating it in terms of valve area and ultimately peak flow
CVH is better at making use of small airflows, Zetec is better at making use of big airflows, I know which interests me more, lol
