Should go alright when he gets a decent carby on it.


we have proven that a hot 998/1098 can do better than a standard 1275 and we can get more than 50hp at the castle hill dyno runs with the rite set up and tune properly.
If you have a spare 1275/1100s short motor sitting around their is no substitute for cubes

Waggott 509

Duration- Inlet. 263 Exhaust. 266 @ .050"- Inlet .221 Exhaust .223 Cam Lift- Inlet .270 Exhaust .270

good strong torque, slight lump on idle

no real need to get a billet one made, just get the factory cam reground

or an MD266, from Russell Engineering.
or his latest, the RE83. Kills everything up to 6500, which is as far as a roady 1098 should go anyway. :wink:
or for more top end, an RE13.

We have a 1100 in scrapper atm, has GR's 100 thou pistons in it, i belive its a nicer engine than the 1342 Cooper S motor that was in the car before it, so easy to drive, smooth power & torque band, Aaron & I love it!!!!

GR's roady 998 has about 68hp ATW, with just 1 cam and no hairdryer. :P
No BMW parts on top.
