I can recommend Darren at DAMICO, 01953 717784.
Unfortunately he does not have a website etc, so would have the phone him, but it's there if you need it.

CNC heads/Ric Wood engine tuning. Saw them at the autosport last year, and looked top notch. That's where I would be going.

http://www.cncheads.co.uk/

OK, you want the ultimate Cossie head? We have the ultimate Cossie head. Our Big valve Ford Cosworth head is simply awesome. 191.5 CFM inlet and 133.4 CFM exhaust at 10" pressure. A massive 57% increase in CFM flow on inlet and 40% increase in exhaust flow over standard

Our gas flow engineering process measures flow as per a normally aspirated engine as turbo boost on a modified car cannot be easily simulated. However, our flow figures are nonetheless impressive. A normally aspirated engine could produce as much as 301 BHP at 8100 rpm or 331 BHP at 10,000 rpm (if you dare) with this head. This is without a turbocharger !!

Depending on your boost, mapping, exhaust and other factors such as air temprature and barometric pressure, intercooler efficiency etc, a turbo charged engine with this head could easily exceed 800 BHP. This would make a stunning road or race car but because you engine runs more efficiently with this head, it would also be controllable and usable with superb low down power, less turbo lag, a lower power band and better fuel economy. For any given revs you could run lower boost and still get the same power or you could crank up the boost and get even more power everywhere.

This head is intended for race purposes or road car owners who simply want devastating power from their cars. This head increases the engine's full potential and allows you to take your tuning as far as you want with the absolute maximum flow using this bigger valve size.

Remember, all our heads are fully balanced across the cylinders. The CFM ratings we state here are exactly what you get and we have tested power predictions on our Dyno to within 1 BHP of our prediction. Buy with absolute confidence that you are buying a head with a huge amount of expert development work built in and will perform as we say they will.

Need a full race engine ? Contact us for details. We supply fully built race engines built in-house to the highest specification.

Cost for this head is £1250.00 + vat on an exchange basis. (£600 exchange). A 'taping' service is also available for this head at an additional cost of £100 which will give the final hand finish to the ports and provide a further 1% flow. Please note : Valves are supplied at extra cost on this head.

As far as I know Gordon does a good job and if he built Petes engine he cant be that bad cos its still alive.

Nick Waples, Neil Roper, Karl Norris

I do remember Euan saying that more work was required to his cnc head to get the gains they wanted, at £1250 or whatever they charge I don't know if you would be better just to get someone to do all the work by hand.

All 3 mentioned above have been getting fantastic results for a long time, out of the 3 I would use Nick as I have used him for years, however he is probably the hardest to get hold of these days.

pete mcrash thought he did a bit of everything at work mate. Didint know he just builds engines. Heard from a few people that he is good at that.

In that case a reputable place is what Id go for too, my apologies.

In my opinion there are people that have the equipment to analyse, compare, develop and optimise port shapes/sizes and there are people that build engines, have a die grinder, and say they can port a head.

Unless they have a ticket from the recyclers showing where they weighed in all the scrap YB heads that they did the development on, a flow bench in the corner and some very accurate documentation of their port designs and results i wouuldn't go near them.

I would stick with somone like cnc heads.
