Very nice but in their list of credits I did not see any mention of Ian Richardson Wildcat / Roland at ACR

After all - those are Wildcat heads and Wildcat straight Throttle bodies .. and for the observant - the injectors are missing from the fuel rail on the initial shot of the engine.

My TB's and heads are exactly the same.

Are you sure they're Wildcat heads? I know that Triumph Rover Spares (listed in the credits) have some of the new TA Performance heads.

Triumph rover spares (Australia) had first dibs on the T A Performance heads. Those are T A P heads. As far as I know John Eales has the only two pairs in this country but I don't know if he's done much with them yet.

That clip is the first evidence I've seen of them running, the Aussies have been very cagey.

Maybe a UK proxy or VPN provider could help

p.s. And engine sounds very impressive - would be good to hear more about it.

Good point. I'm just about to have my supper, it might have to be my hat.

Which may be why they look like Wildcat's..

Looking forward to seeing the new heads though.

Spoke to John Eales couple of day go..

His best results with TA heads are 460hp.. And with his CNC rover+s give 423hp..

Wild cat head dyno testing with carb..

looks like 370hp witch aren´t very impressive..
