Really nice work you are doing on your car Dan, and very thorough documentation that will help other people following in your footsteps.

Also some great pointers on things you should watch out for from people with a lot of experience building and tuning these cars and their engines.

Not sure if you missed it but did you address the (too much) amount of Loctite on the cam boxes that Ian and Mike have pointed out?

I'd listen to Ben on exhaust and header selection advice as well, not many people know as much about them as he does....

The PMOs had such a poor vacuum signal with larger primaries the cars ran terrible down low and would idle terribly.


Otherwise carry on looks like you’re doing a nice job.
Cheers,
Lukas
