yeh i was considering going with a 285, but i felt that i didnt really need to go to wild with the cam as the main thing i wanted to sort out was the flow of the head with the larger valves etc etc.

From what i can tell the car does seem to pull like a train from 2000 revs upwards ( even tho i havent taken it passed 3500 yet :oops: ) i am just waiting to see how much its going to cost me to get all the other work done at g-werks (65mm toothed pulley kit, red tops, custom remap & charger rebuild) and then it will be sorted and i can concetrate on driving it.... i am so paranoid that something is going to go wrong i have to check under the bonnet after every time i have been out in the car.... :) so far everything is ok, although the car is running a little rough on idle which probably due to my poor attempt at timing the cams in properly... 8)

yeah i am guessing it will cost a few quid but at least thats it in terms of major engine mods for the moment...., and once its done its done, i can leave it alone for a while and enjoy it for a few years!

 

Nice one with the kent cam aswell! :thumb right: i was thinking of a kent cam aswell, but i got a deal i couldnt refuse on my piper setup (piper cam,followers and vernier pulley) all for £200 off the same guy i bought my head from, which i thought was a good deal.

 

Just gotta ring up darren at g-werks maybe friday and arrange everything, hes sorting a quote out for me at the moment i think.

 

After all the engine work is done i have the enjoyable task of fitting my g60 / vr6 gearbox, that should be fun.... might leave that untll after christmas 8)

 

hmmm... that reminds me i had better start looking for an approriate present for the girlfriend! :) i ve got alot of making up to do, ive been spending more time with my car than i have with her and i dont think she likes it much... :lol:
