Guest Eggsy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 pointless doing head work, for the price of the porting & the cam ec ect you may aswell build an efi turbo lump - here is a good starting point http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...I:IT&ih=005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steelcabby Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 if you get the head ported and polished, get a new standard cam kit put in, i wouldn't bother getting uprated cams mate. standard ones pull better, and if your not track daying it then there is no point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
