I had been looking at 811s lol!! And pushing the power out there, think the exhaust valves ian said would need changing from conversations with matt when it was built many moons ago.

However I have to be sensible, we know how peaky these engines can be, and is it really worth making it so peaky that it runs worse because of the poor MA ratios just to brag I hath more bhp?

I think the 803s work well, they have made 203-204 in another engine with std valves, and not such a mad exhaust and manifold as mine. So if austec can get me near that, or even chase the longmans engines figures I think ill be happy and deffo be leaving it alone.

The car can be made alot quicker by not touching the engine, most notably by me getting more experienced with it and in general becoming a better track driver.
