white_van_matt Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Muzzy seems to have hit the nail on the head again LOL Usually they just go further and further into porting the head, and fit wilder and wilder cams, stage 3 might include bottom end work?It really depends who does it I think.

white_van_matt Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 On 'A racing car is born' on Discovery H+L, Mark Evans (what a hero) had an 1800 zetec in his westfield on twin 40 webers, and they reckoned they alone were worth about 30bhp - worth a look? Old skool rules after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
