Thanks, I guess there is no need for the extra revs if that's the power goal.

What head work would you suggest?

Just trying to wrap my head around this - appreciate your replies

head work depends on your budget. Commonly ppl go port & polish.

My head built by Jhh Racing - CNC ported, supertech bronze valve guides, valves & dual springs, ferrea titanium retainers

Hks 272 cams and tomei cam gears... There's a lot more involved but that's just the components

Out of interest what are your goals and what head work is needed to achieve it?

My goal was to be able to rev as its built for a drag power band, so this head is built to rev till 10,000rpm on my bottom end.

This same combo has revved to 11,000rpm with a lighter built bottom end.

It's been CNC machined ported for maximum flow. I don't know how much came out as its a Jhh racing spec, secret squirrel stuff also forgot its 1mm oversized as well so yes they did do valve work!

Don't know if anyone is still interested but here is my real world experience. Own an R32. Made close to 400 atw. With bolt ons. Never did cams though. Was happy till a minor engine issue. Decided to rebuild. Didn't know if I wanted a 2.6 or a 2.8. Walked into a workshop and got to go for a ride in 2 gtrs. Both were single turbo cars 600hp 2.6 and a 740ish hp 2.8. Both drove better than my low mount twin setup. Why? They were better built and better equipped and better setup cars. Everything was matching. Either one could be driven daily. A well built, well setup car will be most fun to drive. Find a good shop. Get good parts. Take your time. If the opportunity is there. Drive different setups. I was sure I knew what I wanted. After just two drives, my plan turned on its head. There are so many videos of cars. Every combo you could think of. Nothing worse then redoing something.

So what did you end up doing George?

A high compression ratio, forget, worked 2630 with a gtx4294r on the side sculling e85 through id2000s and 3x044 pumps.

Our first plan was a 26 with twin 2860-5 then we decided to go for 6466. After pooping my pants in an rb28, plan changed again. By luck a few parts for a 2630 turned up along with a turbo kit and here we are.

But I will never forget the difference between my car originally and the 2 gtrs in the shop. They were so well sorted. No flat power spots. Everything just worked.

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
