Hi all

After an expensive weekend racing my HB engine let go due to it being too hot so looking for the best place to buy new rods and pistons, i have e-mailed Rich to see what his prices are like but just want to see if there are any other companies to make sure i am getting best value?Dunno

Also is there any types that i should steer clear of as thinking i will be C38 charger soon...Thumbs up

Marty

Just so you know C38's Hhe lower compression than highboosts so its probably better to go straight for that

I believe Marty's high boost was already running the 8:1 comp pistons Eliot. Yes

Personally - I would stick to Saenz rods and Wossner pistons Marty, I have run my super high boost (C38) with these for three faultless years now. Yes

LOL

It's only just been mothballed...

In early September the car was in Monaco and then San Marino in Italy for the Moto GP. It does get used sometimes. Laugh
