    Jaco, You were right, the 112 HP per liter was not correct, it turns out after test that it is 399 HP. 99 HP per liter, problem now is too much spin all the way into 3rd gear, if you can't get it to the ground and hook up you go no where.

    Head Gaskets/ARP studs too tall/Torque needed

    yes, the first studs on front of heads both sides, just barely touches the cams and have to be ground off just a little after you install will not effect nuts or anything, just check them out first before you install the cams, not major at all.

    1UZFE heads Maybe a little better understanding. A 78% flow increase, producing 112.5 HP per liter on factory cams. Air Technologies stated they were excellent heads for flow and can go much higher increase if wanted.
