hey guys,
thanks for the replies,
i think i will stick with the 'e' head but i will get the combustion chambers modified to lower the compression to about 9:1, and get Lots of work done to the exhaust. i think i will just find some injectors off another car and get them to fit my head. i think i will run a 'c' cam but run a valve train lifter kit and double vavle springs, because as my motor is at the moment it revvs to about 7,000rpm im not quite sure cos my tacho stops a 6,000rpm. it goes quite well, it has surprised a few people. i will post a photo of it in a couple of days. back onto the subject, im not to worried about the size of the intake manifold 'cos im going to move the alternator and put the sc-14 there. the only issue is the windscreen washer bottle and the break booster, but i think we can make it fit ok. oh yeah i do live in australia, tasmania actually. the superchargers seem to be pretty easy to come across an japanese car wreckers will have them for around $300-$400AUD.
is this megasqirt think as good as everyone says?? is it worth looking into?
well with all this extra power i am going to have to get the car to handle it. any suggestions for a drive traing and diff?? and suspension??

thanks again.
