Hey Vr senator, yeh sounds like a plan , how many are getting round that you know of? What are ya ITB;s like ? Im guessin great throttle response and mayb 40 hp.

Hey mate, I love the ITB's, yep instant throttle response, not cheap but the driving experience is awesome, and for me anyways you cant beat the look under bonnet if its NA. Basic tune on standard heads, cam etc it made 508rwhp @7,000 rpm. If you go by the rear wheel HP = flywheel kW that's 680 ish at the fly, quite a bit to come though hopefully. I have also heard there is no need to swap the rockers in mine (I assume they are like yours??) but apparently its worth changing the bearings in them as the stockies can crap out. 454 cubes mate, cant beat the sound of that rolling off the tongue lol.

got it built in Melbourne , The engine builder has built all my race engines ,always gives me an awesome engine. I supplied all the parts, got them from BTR racing in the states, 4k cheaper landed here than the cheapest price in Aus. Gearbox tune from the states, mate did engine tune.

hey VR Senator, basically they are the same rockers , you have more lift tho. ive got a Comp cams upgraded trunion kit in mine which is what you really need to do . They cost $140+frieght , BTR has his own brand now, for $123good numbers your getting. Im not big on dyno's , so only figure I have now was from 1st tune after rebuild and I pulled it up well short. Big believer in running engines in .
I got 365rwkw at 4500rpm. Will do a full run after I get alien intake. Brian Tooley did the cam specs and says will get between 455-470 rwkw. My cams not outta control , I wanted a 243/259 112 +4 but he pulled me back, Drives nice. Bang the turbo's on then be lookin at 700rwkjw , insane

Reaper , if ya serious I can ask him if he's willing to do one for ya, then swing ya his number if he will do one for you. He's built all my race engines and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Hey Mick good to hear from you. This forum is like a breath of fresh (natural) air versus the other Intersuperfragillistic Supercharger Chiller channel.
NA all day, all the way
Love the engine shroud.
How are you finding the Evans Water pump? Do you use the Waterless Coolant?
