Should see a bit more than mine then tbh as those engines seem to...but it will be nice to see what gains can be made on the silvertop later engine..

I'll take a look at your thread when you update it :y:

yeah only after some god mid range kick tbh,

are the blacktops better power gan wise than the silvertops? never knew that

Yeah from what I've heard as the roller-rocker type is least subjective to cam gains but like I said no-ones throttle bodied one to see what gains can be made so yeah should be a good test.

atleast you are pushing the limits on a bit then mate, gmc done all the work to the engine i have about 9 years ago so its due a re-buid soon :)

Yeah be nice to experiment a throttle bodies 8v is always a nice thing but to be the first of the certain engine would be pretty cool I just hope it all goes to plan :p

and 9 years wow... that's a long time definitely get it rebuilt if your swapping the engine to a different car.. :y:

it shoud go to plan:y: yeah thats the plans for next winter, standalone wiring loom and dta managment just after christmas hopefully

Nice! well I'll keep an eye on your thread and look forward to meeting you at brands :y:

never knew i was going to brands:p

Just looked back and saw you bought the uniroyal rainsports? How do you find them?
At the moment im running 195/45 proxes 4's and just seen them on camskill for £35.40 in 195/50 profile but they have a high load rating (86) did you consider them or have you used them before?

Whens the cage getting fitted Wes? you respraying the interior also? will sound good once boddies are on:y: when are you getting the car mapped up?

You have gone for a short trumpet length on the TB's

How will this effect the power band in comparison to lengthier bodies?

Am i right in saying that it will put the peak power at a higher rpm?

Meh completely got you confused with H-Unwin lol my bad :homme: Not used to having all different people post in the thread its usually the same bunch :p

I've got the 195/50 profiles on my car now and tbh I really can't rate them high enough for a road tyre. They won't be the greatest on track but reading a whole bunch of review's road-wise they are amazing lol...

It's not just the trumpet length that accounts to the move in torque it's the overall tact length which includes the inlet manifold and speaking with Sandy I remember him saying this length was best suited overall to the 8V engines. But again only time will tell exactly how things will pan out :)

haha its cool brother, would like to meet a few more itb'd 8valve people, always seems to be the usual 16valve crew

Sorry Wayne I forgot to quote you :p

The cage will be fitted in the three weeks which I have between taking it off the road and the track day at brands. But I won't be spraying the interior for quite a while as it's really only cosmetic so I want to make sure the car is running/handling well first then I'll concentrate on the nice things :p

Again same with the mapping anytime between 21st November and 17th December..I can't wait!! :panic:

That's very true well this will definitely be at FCS next year all complete and in it's glory (hopefully) So you should go and we can meet up then :y:

yeah was thinking about it, just need to make the car look a bit better tbh

need a in your face colour for the engine bay, any ideas?

Lol, bright green, orange or red will look cool on the posi blue took a look on your thread looks good will be nice when's it's all swapped over :y:

more or less the same colours i thought lol

cheers mate, need to puh on this week and get everything sorted and looking good again :n:

looking forward to that, ill definately be mega raped :n:

These bodies not fitted yet?! :p
