cheers bud, erm at the moment its got a kent cam and vernier pulley, unknown 4 branch manifold and thats it, got 3 ecu's for it i got given from a mate who told me one of them is chipped but iv never got around to finding out, looking for a 3Ltr carlton throttle body too use or it might be worth playing with some r1 carbs but iv seen a thread on here with a lad thats done it too an SEH an it didnt make much power at all so im in two minds about that

That would be me! I dont know what it was initially, but it feels a hell of a lot quicker than it did then!! I am hoping that the NW rolling road day isnt cancelled...then i can find out what it is now.
It is more powerful than it used to be anyways, it feels much quicker!
But throttle bodies is a good way to go. There was a white nova in Total Vaux a couple of months bk, and that was 165 odd bhp.

i havent got TB's...but am seriously thinking about it.
Thing is i dont wanna spend the 2k on it yet. However, its certainly a possibility in the future. If i can get the carbs putting out decent power, i will leave it on them.
