tried to post pics but i suck with computers ,may b tomorrow.Rough engine spec 92mmwisecosx 77,=2047ccas much compression as i can get would like 15:1 but don`t think i can get that much with the pistons i have. this won`t b a street engine as such gonna b using every trick i can ie ceramic s 4 exhaust and combustion chambers and exhaust ports,wet lube 4 piston skirts,dry lube 4 back side of pistons rods and crank throws,heat disipating coating on heads and barrells,titanium valves custom flywheel w160mm clutch assy.and a few other tricks i`m keepin up my sleeve my boss who knows a bit about engines recons 180hp is a good point to aim 4.its gonna b diffrent and that suits me and my car down 2 the ground.and if it revs to 10,000 i`ll be smilin like i was at warrick when matt berry driving my car pulled at least 112 ft wheelie then when he pulled 2nd up she came up again,thanks matt!Oh and ash 4 lettin us cain his engine.

Yes Col B18 sounds about right LOL. So what heads are you going to run?? And are you going to use 13mm booker rod for head studs at 15:1.

you're a crazy man and that's why we like you hahahahaha!!!

brendon i`m gonna b using the 043311 cylinder head combo that i ran on the 1585 but im going to b upping the valve sizes peter at swift engines is going to oversee the engine program.about the the compression the only reason to try and run so much is so i can use the texas recipe it makes your eyes water probally causes cancer but damm it makes a diffrence.

Hope the texas recipe doesn't casue any genetic defects so as the next time i see you you have 2 heads or something to that degree!!
