Stage One Kit Fitted
- Location: Berkshire
Posted 03 October 2016 - 06:20 PM
My specs are 1330, with a Stage 4 head. Swiftune sw5 cam, standard rockers and twin hs4's.
This has made it fast enough on the road, but with good torque, and mainly drivability.
It will sit in traffic fine, with a really nice idle, yet when needed will put one hell of a smile on your face.
You can match a good engine, to a well set up car, whats the point in having loads of power, if it drives like a sack of potatoes!
Good news for me as that is exactly the spec that I have just built and will install shortly in my new historic rally car.

I'm going to put it on a rolling road, so I'll let you know what the power and torque is!
