Very nice mate.

 

[07GTS]

Dart Pro 1 heads cnc'd by Higgins, also i got https://www.racecoatings.com.au/ to thermal coated chambers/ports and valves with teflon blue coating for wear resistance and better oil flow, outside is thermal dispersant to remove heat, also done my exhaust and other bits

No wonder the build is taking a while there is a lot going on here, nice work!

 

[Immortality]

NICE!

You don't see a lot of that on street builds.

 

[MrBags]

NICE!

You don't see a lot of that on street builds.

You don’t see it at all when it’s finished

yea because its PD boosted heat plays a roll in making/loosing power so im taking the precautions of keeping heat where it makes power in the cylinders and removing heat where i dont want it, and i want to do track/quarter work with it so want it to last the distance

Ceramic coated piston tops I’ve heard are the go

 

[07GTS]

yep ceramic the piston tops to stop the heat going into the piston, rod, crank, keeps the heat in the chamber as well as blurs hot spots so stops knock and coating on the head, valves keeps same heat in the chamber so if u have less heat getting absorbed into the surroundings more goes into expanding and making power to push the piston, also my inlet port and exhaust port are thermal barrier coated so same reason stop heat from the head affecting the intake charge and also stop the exhaust heat soaking into the head

Ive decided that i would like the first drive.What are my chances?
