One step at a time sir.. one step at a time..

There's loads of potential in the heads, we've just run out of time, they'll be properly ported and flow matched next winter.. The intake manifold has nitrous bosses so they can be drilled and tapped in the future as well...

Only trouble is, the team have spent two winters pouring money into it, and could really do with some time off spending money... Guess we need to find some more sponsorship!!!

Can't you bung some silencers on for the time you'll be running it in (I'm assuming that you'll be next to the garage/workshop fiddling/tuning)
