'was at an engine dyno session today - not my engine, a 406clv stroker with out of the box AFD 4v's + TFC + custom grind Mech flat tappet + 11.1comp + pump fuel, and it made an astonishing 593HP with a massive flat curve! He was one happy customer.

XD408, a member of this forum, has a 408w stroker with Ported CHI 218's + TFC + Mech Roller + 11.1comp + fuel?, and it made an astonishing 570HP with a massive flat curve!

The CHI engine has ported heads to its advantage, as well as a Solid roller cam, hence it has been concluded that you can't beat the AFD 4V's locally, out of the box, ie. No Porting. I know i'm going to stir up some of the proud CHI 218 owners but hey, unfortunately you can't always purchase the 'better' product.

It has the Wideband sensor that i've welded into the collector/s.

balinor, my left axle is bent at the flange, making the wheel look buckled when its not! And the whole diff seems to move back and forward unsettling the car. Have to sort out these saftey issues first! I'd rather wait a little while and do it properly, i.e full spool/ billets etc. Like I said don't keep the spot open just for me, if i'm ready before then, i'll contact you, and if the spot happens to be filled, then my bad luck.

you will find when you replace the bent axle the diff movement will disappear.I recently had the same problem.During normal driving up to 80 km everything was fine but under throttle it seemed as though the diff was held in with rubber bands.Discovered I had a bent axle,replaced it and now she feels solid.

balinor,

are you going to wsid on April 10th.It's building up to be a good meeting.
