13:1 ish. That's the only reason I'm not looking to break 14:1 anymore. Going to stick to 13.5:1 for a 2378cc (around about) lump

I tell you what Nathan, you can tell an awesome joke. I think this is all on paper and never materialise

... ive been through loads of cars and projects in this time... i think youre just having us all on

At least we see progress with Alaister and he sees it through

Spoke to Rich briefly, he is a very busy man, he did reign in my expectations but he did give me plenty to think about.

Potentially open to me is a full race head, new intake system of K20 intake manifold (RBC / SK2 Pro etc..) with bigger TB or go ITB's, and new exhaust manifold. While these may not hugely increase peak power he did say that there are gains in power band.

I have yet to chat to him more but hopefully that should be enough to get me near to the top of the whp/T bracket I want to be in.

Sure, bring your fiddle! I haven't broken out my jazz flute for years either! We can prance about the garden at twilight!

... Although mind the ditch around the garage base, haven't filled that in yet either

Is it difficult?

Never tried. But I'm told it's hard.
