Twice the cost?, but twice the power gain with alot more in there !

I heard 6K for that particular throttle body / engine conversion?? If so then its not.

If the turbo had grip it would be doing 11s and 12s like the 5s with their drag tyres, but as we only had road tyres with no practice 13.2 is more than respectable. And yes i do realise that the guy with the bodies also had road tyres, but with very little if no spin.

This is probably going to open a can of worms but i cant see where we are going with this. Still all due respect to the car with TB conversion though.

That is a good time with no practice. I give both conversions respect.lol

lol, more power is always going to win on the strip, if you can get the power down.

But that particualr conversion cost far from 6K, however its value is around that area with the cylinder head/body/camshaft developmet. With over 40 hours on the cylinder head alone that would equate to alot of £££, and some custom cam profiles that arent being used to the full potential. If the bottom end was sorted and could provide the RPM, aswell as the piston/valve clearance and cylinder sealing, then youd see another 20bhp from it with a limit closer to 8000rpm and the cams moved off their conservative timing.
