Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
The old Reg Cook A15 I had was 109Hp (at engine)
Hoping for more than that. 120 would be nice, or even better 130, which would give me 100 RWHP.

Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
That is looking and sounding "O"for awesome...... I have a feeling it WILL have more HP than before. What does the actual number matter for anyway.Great build and good to have the end in sight.

Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
I just had my best tasting heineken ever, following this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N39t9NV ... e=youtu.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sorry about the poor quality video, and holding phone sideways....
got a bit caught up in the moment
preliminary '90%' tune, but more than happy.
more HP than a 16 valve 4AGE
Reuben thinks he will squeeze a few more HP with final tune
sounds awesome, really good through entire rev range
cant wait to put it through its paces!

Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
Yeah guys, I am fizzed, bet my target HP (just) by 2.5
PS; Nick, yes I put on an autobid on that box. but Grant76 is having a sniff too.
should have hit buy now at 400. not that I need it, but I have no spare boxes here at present.

Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
Ah I figured that seeing you bid over Grants bid. I just wanted the a15 he had for sale mainly, but it was way over priced at $400. I dont have garage space currently for an entire car so thought I could rebuild a box and motor as a little project.
Re: Kitchs 1200 Coupe
i'll pull out, i'm dont absolutely need it. Awesome work on the tuning, final paint must be getting close now!!
