The fact that the boost is so instant, even if there's not massive amounts of it, it makes for such a good drive... Just remember the 12v head is hydraulic lifter...Yeah but im no electronics wiz mate. Id ra*e a clutch. I am going for a small ish upgrade turbo and something much more modern so hopefully it wont effect spool times.

I do REALLY need an upper inlet manifold for one though cos mine is missing if you could speak to ash for me.

As for tht guys torque figuires am not sure as he was full of shite IMO
Im splitting the old derv which has a paddle on wil chek the meat on it if your interested wil sel for bout 10er+postage to u if in half decent nick bud
Hydraulic lifters should be fine. Im gonna take mounties figures as being relatively accurate cos I saw the dyno graph for it.
Is the clutch sprung or unsprung?
