    thanks for all the comments everyone [:D]

    not really sure, i'd be unhappy with anything less than 180bhp but some people have said it'll be more...even break the 200 barrier

    after the 3rd June (thats when Vince is mapping it) i'll take anyone that asks out for a spin in it,

    Cheers, thats what i wanted [:D]

    This is a conversion I very nearly did a couple of years ago...well until I stacked my car. It was already a TSR 2.0l 8v with pack C head, 4 branch, quaife etc. They told me to expect 185bhp with a piper 285 cam back then, so should be more with the 304 cam :)
