    Question for those valvers that have gone this route- I know the peak bhp can go up by a decent margin, but is it more a high revs gain or mid range etc?

    Considering doing it on my 1900 Golfy valver but don't want to loose the lovely high rev urge it has at present.


    Cheers

    :lol: yes just seen your other post, so considering I had the same bhp as you on stock cams & head (less torque tho) you are now not exactly extolling the virues of the flowed head to me either! ;)

    I might have to wait for your results on Thursday then before I spend my wedge! :p

    Well in mine i'd say that most increase is the torque between 2 and 3k rpm, I think it does pull a bit harder right through the revs though and has a bit more peak power.

    Myself and a mate did a speed test from a standing start between 2 points on a straight road the other day. His valver is a standard KR bar a mongoose exhaust and K&N, rollered at 150 horse, mine is running a 4 branch, a blowing and rattly scorpion system and the KR exhaust inlet cam (havent had it rollered yet). His hit 100mph and mine did 105mph so I guess mine is pushing more power, and it hasnt been setup properly yet.

    You shouldnt loose that urge.Mine feels torquey around 2-3k but then surges really hard at 5k and thats with small manifold.
