That looks awesome mate

[elmaso]

looks awesome, and i wish i could have a set of those seats lol
future plans sound good, but if your going for a cam you can't have ultra high ratio rockers. just thought i'd let you know haha

Have been told before, but why is that? What rockers can I have with a stage 3?

[elmaso]

it causes valve float, which can end very badly, a bloke i know has the stage 3 cam with 1:8 rockers and apparently this was going to happen:

well, now hes running stock again lol

I thought stock would restrict the cams output?

Yeah I'm pretty sure you only run high/ultra high ratio rockers if you have a standard cam. Both high ratio rockers and a bigger cam work by increasing valve lift, together you get too much valve lift, which gives valve float and I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing

[Tadz]

Update. Twin throttle bodies on. Now just gotta tune it ( a little rough particularly in park/neutral and early shift problems )
EDIT** Fixed the issues ( I was being silly and didn't fit the tps correctly ) and a small vacuum leak was causing the higher rpm. Runs a lot better all round then a stock one.
