Are you going for more power or same power and less boost?

Same power will pick up more response with the different size ports and new spec cams. Boost will be very slightly less

M.A.D spec cams, Piper double valve springs. Last few parts should be here next week or 2.

A/S plenum cover will be dropped off for black crackle finish along with inlet manifold is back from porting brackets to be plated silver. Have a billet fuel rail in black from MK motorsport on order.

Inlet manifold brackets been vaper blasted by https://www.facebook.com/DCBlastcleaning/ Dave will be doing all the alloy tanks and cylinder head to the same finish as the brackets. Will update once there are done.

You won’t regret that conversion but your car deserves a better reservoir and bracket.

Dave @ https://www.facebook.com/DCBlastcleaning/ has done a great job on my polished alloy parts. Had them vapor blasted this finish should last and very low maintenance.

Looks ace. Why did you have the flywheel skimmed? Is it to give it a clean friction base to start from or was it to save weight?

I have this done every clutch I do as it aids the bed in process and lasts longer.
It is amazing how many people don't bed the clutch in and ruin it within days.
