The intake manifold can probably be improved, we haven't even started to lean the engine yet, it's just a base tuned right now. So when other issues are sorted we can probably find some more in the tune. But besides that we probably need to work with the intake manifold to find more power. But we will leave the intake experiment for season 2016.
We will not race more this season, have already gathered enough info, no use to continue with what we now have, upgrades are needed.
New gear box gearing 1-4th gear, new rear end gearing, put in a alternator and a few more minor things. Besides that a engine ovehaul, we been running it on over time...
Its been a long project, but I must admit the result is very rewarding :-)

Well, I'm glad you guys were bold enough to take this project on, I've always wondered what this engine can do and your allowing us to see that. Would be cool to see it summer 2016 and if you can find a way to stiffen up the valvetrain even more without being too heavy, there will be even more HP in the combo. Fitting in more engine cycles with RPM usually means more power with engine changes to accommodate it.
