Posted 11 years 11 months agoYou sir are a bad influence. I have been trying to resist the impulse to build a hot engine for my F.
The wife says the last engine was the last one to be built in the living room.

You have a fair point...
I went with 633's as my car is ment to be a GT really.. rather than an out and out racer... but can always change them in the future.. so stop teasing me :spank:

Posted 11 years 11 months agoI'm guessing you're still on hydraulic lifters? If so I wouldn't worry too much about the 285's, depending on mapping of course, they're pretty tame under 3k and actually return pretty decent fuel economy. In a run up to the NEC from Kent with our track BRM and my road BRM, the track BRM had better fuel consumption
