Nick Waples is the best in the country without question. He is who Mountune use on all the works engines and also did the heads for one of the F1 teams and instantly achieved a 70bhp increase .

You have to go through Harvey (01733 576 614), as Nick now lives in Spain, so the heads get shipped out to him to do there. Normally Harvey has various specs in stock for an exchange basis...

Mike, I don't think you can say 'without question' if you haven't tested a Waples head back to back in a scientific test with a Karl Norris Head.

What you can say is that in harveys opinion (and therefore yours as well!) Waples does the best heads!

I had the choice of either and wasn't bothered about cost or time and CHOSE Karl.

I am VERY VERY happy with the results

P.S is that the right spelling of chose? or is it choose?

Nige....send a PM to "spenner", he did the head on Nick Lewis' 632bhp Cossie as per the other thread mate......or he'll be at the meet, not sure if he will be interested in more work, but certainly well worth a try Proven to produce the goods and local too

Yes... can't argue with his work either. That head clearly flows 600bhp

Well done spenner got to add that man to your list as well
