I had Piper 633s fitted with a big valve head - took my car from 135bhp to 162bhp. The idle was a bit lumpy though (std ECU) and its on the limit of the std ECU

Id go for some Piper 270s and verniers to time them with - you''ll notice more of a real difference than every bolt on youve done so far put together

[simS2]

Thanks for the infomation it was a real help
Did you notice any drop in torqe at all
cheers

Yep - with the 633s I did...it seemd to shift the curve up a little - thats why Id recommend the 270s - you may *only* make 150-55bhp (with head also) but the torque lower down is improved over a std car

Again thanks for you help and yes i will be going though with this mod as soon as i can.
cheers

no worries

make sure you get at least a single vernier pulley to time them correctly - you should gain a *real* 10-15bhp

You really need 2 verniers to get the timing correct . . .

Regardless of the fact that almost everybody will sell you a kit with only one . . .
