ive seen cylinder head developments work and its not very good. nor have i seen any xes running decent figures with their heads. there was a mk1 escort with a chd +1mm head, twin 48s, 1612 cams and SBD mani and it made 7bhp more than steW's at the wheels and its had a lot more spent. also a lad off PNG had a head done by them and wasnt happy after i had to re-spec it for him. safe to say ill be doing his next head.
whats the budget for the motor?
its either LET on phase chips or spend maybe twice and have a throttle bodied XE
