Re: My 1989 sri 8v (seh)
Ive had her for about 2 years now and the wheels are off a mk4 astra,sport i think but they are 15's and would rather have 17's,either black or white or just silver?

Re: My 1989 sri 8v (seh)

Re: My 1989 sri 8v (seh)
whats getting done to the head/? a 270 cam is spot on but its the torque graph that will gain you can go to a 276 for a few extra bhp at top but idle control valve will suffer. vernier pully will make it lighter and easliy to rev and a stronger belt will just mean less chance of snappin.Rich P wrote:stage 3 head will include 270 profile cam,vernier pully,uprated belt and head gasket

Re: My 1989 sri 8v (seh)
not sure about all the things they do for a stage 3 head,includes larger valves i remember that.dont want to go too over the top so im sticking with 270 cam.i think they time the cam in with the pulley to get best torque curve
