Look on the KEt and Piper websites they have the sepc of them on there. you'll be looking at ones that still run ok on std injection. Miles runs 268's on his car.

Miles actually runs Piper BP285's...., the ones in the 'realated thread' below actually 
Save the money for tb's. I wouldn't bother fitting cams whilst still using standard management; you cant use verniers for a start.

No probs mate. Dont get a loan, not worth getting into debt for a car, just dont ask where most of the £7k of student loan I've taken has gone
