Talking Worzels new blingy bits

Had delivery of what should be the final bits (don't quote me on that ) I need for this year, the bits that "should" get me to the 400bhp that I want in the first stage.

Before the tubular headers and "Harvey" up-pipe get covered in heat wrap, I thought I would take a snap ot two.














NO MORE SPENDING!!!!!!!! yet!

These are from lateral, I was as surprised when I opened the box.

It just goes to prove what you and Simon said, that Lateral supplies RCM.

Nice to have the little badge though.

In deed and the uppipe is called a harvey one ! same as the venturi one on mine
RCM ones seem to have a polish as the laterial ones cam dull so that'll give you another 15bhp

Just a question that needs answering really mate.

The power drops off like a stone at about 5800 - 6000 rpm. Headers may be the final answer, but while the headers are being done, I will get it checked. It's only a half an hour or so job.

Daft question time...

Do you have to wrap them? Or is wraping just a case of trying to squeze as much power out as posible?
