Getting ready to go straight to stage 3 (never even went 1 or 2)

Good fella that's what I like to hear!

What figures you gonna be touching 300's?

If so that power in your go kart ;) = fun

It was making about 370 in its last car so hopefully should be pretty much the same in mine
Going to send tubby for some reconditioning before it goes in and most importantly do rods and valves
Unsure on what software i will be using for it yet
It was a private deal and not from Bill although he may have seen it in a previous 'incarnation' (excuse the bad pun)

I'll let you keep guessing until some pics go up
Realistically it probably wont really get much of a look for the next few months, got to finish off and move into house then do rods, etc.
Progress will be quite slow but the kit and other stuff i bought wasnt cheap

I have been watching the hybrid K04 stuff quite a lot including yours but there seemed to be to many problems and inconsistency in the setup
Bill is only just down the road as well for fine tuning but too many running these and not performing as promised
This came up with a big increase in horses and a proven setup, too good to miss
I did see you enquiring about it and wondered if i would have competition

True the hybrid should be renamed the heart-breaker, to many unknowns and at the end of it not much difference between the price all things considered, given my time again I would have went gt28rs without a shadow of a doubt.

You are going to enough this awesome power.

Will be fun, after speaking to dan i think i will uprate the valves, etc when rods get done just to be safe
Any suggestions on these? rods will probably be IE
