Head Cam Induction info

hey all. new to this forum, just purchased a mk2 RS and looking at some performance improvements for the pinto. just after something streetable that wont blow the budget. got my hands on some R1 Carbs. was after some advice on head work / cam selection and perhaps some recommended engine builders in Melbourne. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome,
     
    I went down the R1 carbs route too.  (See my build thread for more info).
     
    A bit of porting and a mild cam will make a nice difference to the standard engine.
     
    Good luck with it all.

    Yeah, it'll fit no probs.  Any qn's let me know as I have made all the mistakes for you to learn from.  ;-)
     
    Contact Wozzah on the forum as he is building me a race pinto.  He'll be able to do it or point you in the right direction for sure.
     
    Cheers
