Hi MICK
I have to answer your post first I LOVE A CHALANGE Bring on
the poms and ill put my money where my mouth is bring on your
8 ports and any after market head out of england and ill make
more torque than any of them and match them with hp or beat
them SAME DYNO WHERE DO WE MEET and ill put up a $1000
if some one will match it, send it to them mick
Graham Russell

One of these would be right at home on top of my stroker

It'll be quite interesting to see how it performs on the dyno

Dear Mods,

I remember when John from Mini King became active within the forum and at the time it seemed appropriate to update his status from 'noob' to something akin to his accepted status within the mini community.

Could I propose that Graham's status be similarly changed to something appropriate to reflect our appreciation, his history, contiribution and involvement on the Mini family?

Just a thought.

Regards

Hi Bernard I dont like to compare the RE13 to the new cam because thats my old favourite iv had it for years that was my first road cam of my design it has more duration and lift than the new cam and should make more hp on the top end, but the new one will make more down low and in the mid ranges but in saying that the new cam appears to be making as much as the RE13 but at a lot lower reves. Yes i will be doing more with mini experence. Graham Russell

Hi Mick To answer the first part of your question the new cam is nothing like your cam its much smaller in both duration and lift its a very mild road cam that performs well out of its class, the head i used with this cam was a good road head not as good as yours but still a good head.

I will be handing it to GR at the Morgan Pk Hystericals. But,,, to make this loud & clear,,, i am "NOT" claiming anything here with "THIS PARTICULAR HEAD" ,,, it`s just one of my old favourites & i`d like to see what he thinks,,, that`s all & GR,,, that`s only if you`d like to set it up & test it,,, if you`re not interested then that`s cool, just let me know at Morgan Pk , ok??? edit---> Oh & i`m not going to play the game because i believe we would need "COMPLETE ENGINE PACKAGE" to compare both torque & HP figures,,, not just heads stuck onto the same engine,,, surely that`s obvious??? anyways,,, just thought i`d mention that so anyone who doesn`t know how things wrk may get the idea,,, or at least part of an idea

I actually spent half of today working on this engine,,, helping set up the autronic & cam & crank angle sensors etc & got it fired up on the dyno sorry for the poor photo, a friend of mine was a bit shakey taking the pic for me,,, this thing makes quite a lot of noise yes big block ford with twin turbos & autronic sequential injection,,, MASSIVE GRUNT,,, will this engine package compare ??? It has 8 ports,,, in each head

Hi Matt That goes without saying it would have to be a complete motor Just for the record for thoes who question how accurate my dyno is the weights are there any time some body wants to check it, Keith Calver just sent a motor out to one of my friends a sprite 1560cc and from the dyno Keith used in england to mine there was only 1ftlb of torque differance between the two dynos (engine dyno not drive on) Graham Russell

I might pop down this weekend GR and see where your at RE the new cam. Am going to be separating my 1100 from the box this week, and maybe a cam would be worth trying in it.

Hi Graham Thanks for the reply, agree the RE13 is a great cam The only reason i compared it to the RE13 cam is its what i am running in my current engine and it was easy for me to compare to. More torque Hp down low would be great especially here in NZ with all our twisty roads Keep up the good work Regards Bernard

HI Kuzzy Heads are in production been doing some flow testing with some other valves to see if we can get some better flow at low lifts, and doing some more work with camshafts. Graham Russell
