United-Kingdom GTT Stage 4 + fitted

Seeing as all you bad people are banned , i thought i would post something for you to read - ha ha.

I've just had the GTT stg 4 cylinder head fitted, with schrik valves, and custom JE pistons. Also went for the AFPR, new plugs, and removal of air con and fitment of new radiator. Oh, and a new oil pump and some sump mods. ...and new rear rotors and pads, and a rear strut brace too.

The car is running terrifically.

Cheers,
K.

You guys really need to quit baiting people, it is very childish.

Glad to hear that your car is running well. Enjoy the new power.

i got a text form Bigshow on saturday. He got a 13.84 at 106mph. Clearly doing something right as his car is doing well with those times. And if terminal is 106 once he gets his start sorted he will be easily achieving low to mid 13's Think the competition between all the heads is hotting up now. I'd be over the moon with 13 sec qtr mile.

You gonna get this stage 4 rolling roaded then Karl. be interesting to see what it pushes out. see what the difference is between snowies and yours as Snowie can then gauge whether worth doing the other bits i would have thought

Sounds good not much of a write up though. A standard car could run terrifically . Whats it feel like to drive? What did you gain overall? Oh,and what does removing the air con gain. I probably wouldn't do it just interested? I guess it's not much of an issue with the weather were having these days

I spoke to Paul yesterday and apparently BigShows start wasn't the best

think he removed it due to having the Turbo installed in the summer. Removing the air con only saves about 12 kilos. So unless having a turbo conversion just have a large dump before driving.

2.6 60ft from what i heard, which is pretty attocious.

Karl glad yourenjoying it, are you going to see if you can break in the the 13`s? An whens it being dyno`d?

Does it feel like much of a gain over the old head, was there much visual difference between the 2 heads?

Batou i think removal of the a/c removes about 5kg fromthe car

Lol sorry mate, I should have clicked! I bet 12kilos less on the front make it feel better on bends + the other chassis stuff too!?

Ah I see, it helps for the Evil "T" conversion makes sense enough... blasphemy I tell thee though!!

Ant, noted... I'll fit a myself a carbon bumper dumper for emergencies!

only two reasons i don't want the air con. I don't use it and it takes up space and energy.
