what will u expect, to say bye bye to most things at traffic lights!

but seriously, i think there amazing, seen videos of them and they go like stink, all i know is there very pricey, but i suppose its worth it for a) the sound and B) the look when u open the bonnet.

a few chaps on here have them, only a matter of time before they find this thread!

Speeds and accelerations depends on the set of your engine and gear box too! Your final drive will play a big role.

Is this something your looking to do soon, or after you've saved at least 10k for the engine alone?

Expect 150-200bhp.

talk to morspeed - BMW bike sourced 16V head conversions - very neat - very new - very sexy

either way youre looking at spending into 5 figures..

morspeed qouted me 5 grand for a race spec 16V unit fully built with all fuelling but minus other ancillaries - you have to install it yourself - then take the car back to them for rolling road set-up.

it was a little less for a fast road variant.

I was only put off by the state of their workshops - I'm sure theyre very good at what they do but it was a real mess.

Wont say much other than which ever you use it will be expensive.

Kad is the specific bolt on head where as the Morspeed head is a custom block job.

Only ever seen one 'morspeed' one and that does the 1/4 mile in 14 seconds at over 100mph, but that is a race tune 1380 and although not as expensive as the Kad, it is expensive.

Dont just think about the head, theres the fueling and ignition to think about. Thats the other half of the expense.

Then theres the transmission to think about, no good putting 150bhp through your worn out 998 gearbox or the wire like driveshafts.
