thanks but no, my lack of experience is embarassing I am just good at putting together bits and pieces of info that seems reliable to me and the little experience I have had.

I agree with all your points bar the last one, I cant comment for that as I dont know much about ECU's so I will keep quiet about which ecu is best.

eddie: like LittleRedSpirit and fantapants said, keep the revs to 9000, I dont think its that hard to make a 20v rev to 9000 but after that it opens up the issues of oil pump failure, crank fatiage, etc...

Where do you want your power band to primarly be and how much compramises (if any) in low end power are you prepared to live to get that?

I suggest some custom extractors, aftermarket cams and raised compression ratio on which specs depend on your answer above.

Jonny: not the ideal place to ask but whats your opinion on the necessity of upgrading the retainers when the rates of the springs go up. I hear people talk about the stock ones being weak and pulling through but I cant get a straight answer anywhere and it shits me. Also any idea if there is an issue with spring binding or fatiage with 9.5mm lift on stock springs?

The bottom end would suck with those big cams and maybe thats where he wants the power gains as he didnt say. But I guess you do have a pretty valid assumption in thinking that he actually wants to have some sort of power up to actually use 10,000RPM. Going with that assumption I completly agree with you on the cam specs and gears.


LittleRedSpirit: whast so bad about the microtech? are the load points too far apart? too low a processing speed? lack of finer control of things like fuel spiking for initial throttle(s) opening?

fantapants: care to share who the magic man is? also "streeter"? tell me your first name isnt Ken?
