Thanks for the kind comments lads

Nixon, You would have to have my inlet, cams and cr etc to make it work, mine is a bit diff to the norm and seemed to work with scope for the future, tell me your plans and I'll be glad to shed some light on it

J1mbo;
Im on a gt3071r.63 - may swap for a 0.82, external 44mm tial gate, reyland 2wd modified exh.mani, 4x4 elbow-modded inlet, 750cc inj, everything rebuilt even the head. The condition of the head is very good after the rebuild but i did not port it back then, I guess i will need new guides, seals etc when porting the head? (as they have to come out)
I would like it to produce right around 500hp with a GOOD bottom end. Not just huge ports, but I know Waples knows his job

Im on std 4x4 pistons (just milled down 1mm) so dont know if I can fit the BD14 or not.

I would pocket the pistons, out a bd16 inet cam and have a 25/24mm ported head, at 30psi 475/80bhp would be your lot.

To take that engine over 500bhp youd have to run alot of boost or, put a hart inlet on it, a bigger exhaust cam and at 30psi 500 would be poss
