Whoops
Sorry bout that something went wrong!!

[jameswildcooper]

wow quadruple post :-P
i spoke to Neil at Slark today just to let him know Im running late with the car,.
it should be going down end of this week/next week.
what do you need to know about the kit?
i would have thought they could be painted, I've seen them polished up to a mirror finish before which looked good!

[jameswildcooper]

a friend is waiting to mot her as soon as she back from Slark, hopefully beginning of July would be nice

What sort of power gain is expected?
Reliability,etc etc
I have a 1380 stage three,kent cams,omega pistons. Was thinking of going turbo,but like the quicker response and build up from a super charger.

[jameswildcooper]

out of this set up id like to see near 170hp.
hope its a little reliable lol.
as for boost my old 1380 suck through set up (150hp) came on boost at 1200 rpm

Thought I read you wanted to go turbo next year ?
Didi read right ?
If this is the case why go through the bother of building up this engine ???
What super charger kit was in your last engine?
Sorry for all the questions ,but I have spent shed loads of money on my gt and don't want to throw money to the wind!
I can see you know what you are doing so I think you can help :)

[jameswildcooper]

yeah that's right about going turbo.
i have gone for this kit first because Im getting it at a extremely good price and the car is also getting set up for free.
kind of like a sponsorship as Im putting a couple of Slark stickers on the car in return.
i plan on selling the kit next year and use the charger kit money towards a turbo set up.
engine wise the spec i have is well up to the job + i might even give it a quick rebuild when i go turbo.
i was using a morspeed set up before, it wasn't great but it did the job lol
