According to Sonny's old thread it made peak power at 7300rpm.

Will be interesting to see what difference the lower compression has made to peak power / torque....

I wished i could've gone hi comp & forged and revved the fucker harder!
The thicker headgasket was a mistake tbh. i didn't realise i used a thinner one when i originally put the engine together, then when i replaced the valves with some sexy ones, i uninetensionally used a thicker gasket.

Wooooops! Decent power for an 8v! How much thicker are we talking? How did you come to realise it was thicker - if at the time of fitting why didnt you just get it replaced for the same thickness as before?
