As the santa pod go-ers the weekend know i was itching for a 14 sec 1/4.

Here begins the quest.

Currently i ran a 15.2 with standard manifolds (inlet and Exhaust)

So they are first on list... just brought this.

Gorgeous stainless manifold 4-1. Really wanted a 4-2-1 with long primaries but this will do.

Mandrel Bends
TIG welded
CNC machined flanges







Also brought these

second hand but flippin hard to get hold off even new!

phil, its also in a nova..... hence its fast! they are a hell of a lot lighter than a corsa standard.

124bhp is good for just cams!
