yeah thats why i only went to 85mm, i was gunna go to 86 but thought i
better not just incase.
my w53 only has the 33mm exhaust valves tho it still got the 42mm inlets,
it does seem a bit restricted up top, 6500max, but midrange is nice and
strong.
i dunno about 150hp but it should have 130 atleast(id hope), torque isn`t
too bad ive been moving furniture all week with a 3.55:1 with no probs, did
a 16.3@83mph a while back before i changed the cam, diff and some other
bits.
the L14 is still there ill have a look this week and find out a price ok.
