I'm waiting for evidence ;)

Umm you do realise if it's annealed even slightly when you unbolt it it's going to banana? Use the reverse sequence you'd use to tighten it and do it in 3 passes to minimise this effect.

Checked mine today June this year it's 20! :)

Pics?

WOW yet another "Urban Myth" that needs to die...... "Free up HP" ummm yeah until you factor in the drag from the Alternator to run your electric fans.... :( (I saw a 100+ Amp alt stall a 5hp 240volt electric motor on a test bench under load so don't think there is minimal drag when the Alt...

From memory the block when uncut is 198.5mm from the deck to the main saddles. An uncut head is from memory 116mm exactly (I'll double check this a little later).

Ahhh with it now I was thinking you're trying to build a "LBK" (Little Brake Kit) ;)

Nash: If you're serious about dropping weight take a shell and have it acid dipped! It sounds like you don't care about creature comforts so this would be about the only time I'd make this recommdation as it turns the car into a lightweight noisy leaking thing. (I personally think trying to...

Not quite big guy ;) (No wonder the kids are arguing with ya! )

The key to it is consistancy! Do a small area on one port then do the same area on each port. Repeat the process on each new area this way you tend to get into a pattern with the angles you need and end up with ports more or less the same! (Important for flow) I used to make a set of...

You can buy long shank Carbide Burrs Will! (They chatter like a bitch though) You'd be better off just reaching what you can and removing any obvious dags and blending everything nicely! The 7M manifolds and ports aren't too bad stock so you're just giving em a cleanup!

To back up what SBoy has posted here's my recent dyno with the only change between pulls being the exhaust! Green line is a full 3" system with very little restriction black is a 3.5" which splits into 2 x 2.5", interestingly the Old system was 97db the new one is 88db! <note the midrange>

Very welcome Will! Another tip is have a small cup (lid off a spray can works well for this as it's low and wide) of Auto Trans Fluid on the bench and time to time dip the Burr in as it help stop the Cutter picking up adhesions! (If you overheat the alloy taking heavy cuts that slow the...

I was expelled from year 9 so don't have the extensive education that a lot here have but still try and make an effort to post something that can be understood by most. Anything less would just be laziness on my part.

What I meant was most stock ECU's go full rich after 75%, this is why a modded car will often make more power and get better economy than a stock one when you're pushing hard.

1.21 GigaWatts Baby!

Matt: They just open the taps at anything over 75% Throttle most stock cars do this for self preservation!

DOH! Go Shaeff! Spooled: Go stand in the corner till ya learn paragraphs! ;)

Will: The right angle ones are great for getting into tight places but can be a little clumsy to use as you don't have the leverage that gives fine control and help stop chatter when using a Burr! When you buy your burrs make sure you get the ones for Aluminium a quick way to tell the...

Spooled: Well done on the #! (No shame in being beat by a chick now you have it! :) )
