Hello all.
I have a 4l rv8 in my Dax Cobra producing 182bhp and I’m thinking that I would like a little more power. My cam is an rc87 I think. I have heared I will need to move up to 4.6l. I don’t have masses of cash, sadly. Who would you recommend to build me a lively, reliable engine. I’m not ...
