get that manifold off, it WILL lose you power through 80% of your rev range!

if you do keep it, at least cut off the collector flange and fit one that is the right size.

yes, I have all the correct timing calculations, did loads of testing on these cams during fitting.

how the feck did you manage to get 11.5mm of lift on standard pistons???? ive got very deep pockets and only magane 1.2mm clearance when the timing is correct!

Good that omex can fix the ecu!

if you need a copy of your map to re-load, |I can email it to you, or if you prefer I can email it directly to Omex so they can upload it and check it for you.
