Totally agree, it would be good to see the difference on the same RR, perhaps an independant one such as Surrey RR because if 1320 gives 260+ bhp for £3,843 fitted (including import duty) then there is a big difference in price to say the BBR 255 package at £6745 and the GTT 260+ package at £5,751.

I realise each pacakge uses different/extra parts but I'm just comparing BHP output againt £'s.

But thats the most important bit.... money! If its cheaper thats what people will do as long as it comes accross as professional and a quality product. The RMW Head certainly sounds like a good one. Still would like to see one on back to back with Stock on a RR with a 15 or 17% pulley.

Won't the price of the 1320 package change dependent on exchange rate; i.e. the dollar is very weak at the moment?

Order now while the dollar is good (from a UK perspective)

there are dyno sheets everywhere on my cylinder head
more than any other Mini cylinder head
there is a reason for this is we don't hide behind marketing to sell products
we offer true performance

The info you seek is on NAM

I think the engine is the easy part if you do enough research to make a choice. I suppose you have to have some knowledge to see through the marketing, I mean no one is going to say their product dosen't work.

Brakes and Suspension are a nightmare due to there been a lack of factual evidence or tests on which is best.

don't worry about exchange rates as our govt is making sure our Dollar goes into the toilet

it should be incredible values for the people across the pond to get great products at great prices

So when are we going to get some performance figures for this beast... the performance box is free if you want it!

If it beats my mates new Lotus 111R which we timed the other night, 0-60 5.3, 0-100 13.6 then I'll be booking in for the conversion!
