Surfdog's 09 journal

I’d be a bit careful using IPP. It might be that they are great, but my experience was disappointing. The heads are not running very well (either the lash is off or the lifters are bad or perhaps it’s something else that we have yet to diagnose)

I’ll let you know how it goes. For now to be safe I would stick with Z1 or look for recommendations here I. The forum of good engine builders.

BTW I don’t know much about FI, so cannot really help with recommendations there.

Thanks, FI or not if their build is sketchy pushing it will pop or bend something. Your top end not operating optimal after they put it together speaks to a QC problem somewhere because it should've been caught before it shipped and not after it was installed. I'll keep an eye on your progress, I have till February before I have to start writing checks.

Rebello Racing built my engine and I was pleased with the result. MA Motorsports is another option and I understand they are the exclusive distributor of the new JWT stage 2 exhaust cams.

I was thinking about adding an accusump to my setup as well. Thanks for posting yours. Which valve system/PSI did you end up going with?
