Any extra power?

Little action plan to gain significant amounts more power, Alun:

Every time you think of another little mod to gain another 2.35 BHP, find out how much it costs and pop that amount into a savings account.
By October you should be able to afford to book it in with Dom for a drive in/drive out TVR Power Sc or TC upgrade and gain 100 BHP, all in one go.
That should make your first 2017 trip to Shakey seriously interesting.
You will be able to do an 11, or even a 10, not just talk about doing one.....

Agreed?

They won't give you any gains power wise but will allow you to set the correct lifter preloads if your stock rods aren't suitable.

And if your going lairy enough to warrant then then you would be wise to go roller rockers instead as shooting rocker pads into your oil because of your new spikey cam for example is not my idea of fun (rather than using them to correct poorly built cylinder heads with differing fitted valve heights) but we won't go down that road
