i think they had about 75 BHP standard, so its about a 60% power incease, which aint that bad.

That article said they used standard Holden V8 valve springs, has anyone else used these and which V8 , 253 / 308 they might well be the same but I've never had one apart to know the difference.

[Trev]

Been told they are all the same as a red 6 as-well, just sounds impressive to say V8 springs

[newman]

Thanks for that Trev.

I did a lot of similar things to my motor, I used 350 chev valve springs that have around 85lb pressure. My car makes 105 rwhp with twin stromburgs

Could you list the mods you performed upon your grey Hysteria? I would be very interested in reading them.

I would be very interested in reading them.

Me too!

Where can I get a copy of this article ?

[Trev]

Copy it and print it out.

[fjuteman]

I'd like too ! in a larger or original format, its a bit small for my old eyes to see !

[HPaddict]

without trying to sound like a wanker, that is very low power for the specs. that should do 150-160hp easy. combo is not right at all.

yours actually makes more power. yours would be around 145hp@ the flywheel, so it shows how poor the engine in the story really is.

O.K. I can't remember where I read it but I think it was something to do with a old speedway magazine but they mentioned putting a Falcon 6 crank in one? that enabled it to be stroked? don't quote me

I've heard of the falcon crank into the red 6 for stroking, not in the grey .
