T38 + Standard head
Who's done it, and what were the results like?
How much did it get strangled at the top end by the head?
UT38 im on about by the way, the one that is basically just a slightly enlarged escos T34

Yeah ive ended up with a spare one, so thought I might have a go at chucking it on the 3door and giving it a quick remap.
It needs stem seals though, so head needs to come off soon anyway, so was wondering wether or not to port it while its off.
Im not looking for massive power, 380-400bhp would do me fine, so my opinion is that I will NOT need headwork for this, but wanted to hear from others too.
I'll also need something a bit more manly than dark greens of course

I have that set up Chip
Live mapped by MSD and its fine. Stu was expecting a bit of surge but never got any. Bit more laggy than my old T34 0.48 but not as much as a T4. Pulls well all the way to the limiter no probs

Surge was one of the worries i had, so thats good to hear.

Ive already got the T38 Dan.
so I wont be needing your
t34 Mar-m 247 shaft for sale that people can PM you about.
I have a TT T38 which i have still not fitted
My head has had a mild porting as well but still on standard cams.
I have not fitted it due to being told it might surge,i know it would need remapping.
