Would you be having an incy wincy problem then Dan

yes, the valves touch the pistons

I take it that is not just because they are really close friends?

if only they were

ok quick update....


5 days til bugjam and the engine is by the side of the car still in bits

took it for a quick test drive tonight and omfg its so much quicker now!

i cant believe the heads have made that much of a difference

also in the wet it spins the rear wheels up like its on ice

Did they really make ALOT of differents dude cos the 1914 in the bus is on stock valve and is slightly ported..
It just doesn't seem that quick really i was hoping it would be better i think it's also running a stock cam as well how well would a decent set of heads go with a stock cam.....
Would the heads make it rev higher??? i can only rev to 4500 at the mo..


Come on Danny boy help me out..

better heads with bigger valves would make a huge difference on your engine dude

as for the cam i would change that aswell as it is very well matched to a set of standard/ mildly ported heads but change the valve size and the flow characteristics will change so the cam will be miss matched with the heads so it will become the reason the engine isnt making full power

i think that only the cam dictates how high the engine will rev but i might be wrong

its all tuned up and ready for some racing at action

took it for a little spin earlier and i must say it is a fast car

the target for action is 16.5 second quarter mile or quicker (it feels quicker ) and a top speed over 75mph.

lets see how it goes

Good luck dude keep us posted

Look forward for the figures Dan good luck

How;d you get on then dude/

Hope you got back in one piece Dan and that you have some stories to tell...............

Twas not such a good set of times for poor ol' Dan this weekend

He ran a couple of 21's .... so he's gotta sit down & work out what the heck went wrong .... And if Dan had even run the times he'd put in at Big Bang then he would have beaten Spence the slowcoach!
