    Hi Guys,

    Just joined the forum after visiting the old SC one to find out its like a ghost town.

    Yeah mate theres a few vids on youtube :Dyno Run , Drags

    Engine is now back at Norwest Engine Centre for a bit more work.

    More compression (11:1) and a bigger cam hopefully should see quicker times at the drags.

    cam and comp is not the answer to quicker times (or more hp on a 202)

    been there.. tried that.  Headwork is where you get the most gains. I built a number of 202s like yours and all ended up around 190-200 rwhp (in a LJ Torrie with 3.55 gears and a M21 ran high 12s)

    I tried a number of head combos… wild 9 port, very modded 12 port, modded YT and with some ‘creative’ work on an alloy YT ended up with 220rwhp and a 12.2 sec timeslip

    Smitty is right a well ported head by someone who knows them goes much further than compression or cam bump.

     

    Did 13.1 lc gtr back in day with lowish comp 202 solid cam triple webbers,most importantly been ported properly,tonner cluctch m20 & 3.90 bango…licorice driveline kept breaking.Had easy 12’s left in it.

     

    Always had manuals,you’d need a big stally using a trimatic.

     

    Cant beat sound screaming 202 with webbers!!!!
