Default JGM strikes again !

Just got in from a rendezvous with THE JGM himself, what a fabulous job eh ?

Wander around being paid for making people smile, big time !

We would like to thank Simon for his long hours of work tonight !

I can only add that mine made 390 bhp and a reasonable 360 ft.lb.

Cannot recommend him enough , and he didn't even have a coffee

One happy punter, now about the next mod then ?

dunx

P.S. I'm nearly one of the " big boys " ? Missing the 2 bar already tho'

bigarf, have you just been very unlucky, or are the 2.5L engines a bit unreliable then lol? What heads are on top of your 2.5L block?

Car's pretty quick, but I'm old and slow....



Imho, 2.5 are a work in progress, the forums are full of horror stories.

I'm willing to risk a 2.1 stroker conversion on mine (within my budget !), or wait a bit longer to do a 2.35 cdb forged motor.
