Given he is only running 403s, and a T38, I think you will be right .

Apparantly the cam cover has been painted yellow to match his coat and the rear has a duck logo on the back . WTF is that all about?

Yes - it says 1.6L is more than enough - do you realise you have 400cc too much then?

Each engine will have better and worse areas of power/torque/drivability.

I was just reading Mike R's quote of Greys and a T38, which is basically similar to mine, so I'm guessing at similar results.

Which version of the T38 Is Billabong Using ???? As we all know there are two available, TurboTechniques Version (The Larger One), and Universal Turbo's Version (The Smaller One) which appears to give very little lag, but we all agree the TT version is capable of flowing more air......Horses For Courses.

Both Damned Good..... Just Depends what you want.

Hope its going well for Bill and Harvey and Ahmed give him what he wants...... Ooooerrrr.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Look forward to hearing Bill's bed time story.

Just got to get the damned thing back in the car after the dyno session.
