There are almost limited schemes - possibly a straight B230E would be the easiest?

1) B234E - Thats what Mark Higging (360s) has at present (albeit with turbo pistons, as a turbo is being added at christmas)

2) That's what I'm doing :) (plus, isn't a 740 / 760 TIC (non-cat) 185bhp?)

3) That would work....you just need to lower the compression via the pistons from the 940.

I'm totally agreed on the 'keeping it simple' approach (at least until I catch the bug for more power!). The way I'm looking at it is that I can more or less double my power output for a few hundred quid, and without major surgery or insurance implications (£40 extra) - so I might as well! How many 19 year olds (who don't have rich daddies!!) run their own scooby-slayer?

cheers
