Well, after putting down 500rwhp I went through a series of issues with clutches resulting in a number of trailers and repairs down to bad workmanship.
That being said the company sorted out the problems, but not without financial pain to myself from lost, time and disrupted holidays, rental cars etc.

So after that being put right the next problem was a lifter that took a dump, roller seized taking out the cam and bearings along the way. A massive bill later (would have been cheaper to buy a US short block) and its back to working albeit somewhat knock limited. That being said Id rather it be a little on the high compression side than low as you can always pull timing a tad. So after some messing around and about 17-18* on the dyno it pulled 499.5RWHP. There should be well over 20rwhp more there with a bit more timing.

So another read of the good old "power squeeze" article by David Vizard.

Ill drop engine temps, run cooler plugs and use v-power (99 Octane) currently it was tuned on Sainsburys 97 octane fuel. So with all that I hope to add 2-3 more degrees and free up perhaps 10-20bhp we shall see.
