LOL, yeah right.

Well, the change up to 8.9:1 pistons is well worth the investment in a set.

The car was so much better for it. Hard to tell if it made a lot more power than the old setup,
but definatle did not make less, and has a far wider rev range,
to the point I new see full boost more than 1500rpm earlier than before,
and you can imagine what that did to the rest of the power curve.

Unfortunatly though the car had a bit of a problem after the two practise and qualifying and the first race and blew a head gasket.
Will investigate and see why, but dont think it was too much compression.

Have a couple of vids from the day. may shorten one up and host it and post it for those who are keen.

More info to come..........

See if that was my engine it would've just exploded, taking any expensive part of my car with it. Wanna swap?
