Im going to wait the outcome of Steves headwork and then maybe APR can comment on potential gains on a K04 and if its worth it, taking price into consideration. Im mainly comparing this to wmi and thinking this route is better :happy2:

My old head is going be to be re-used by APR so Keith can get this shipped to the states to be done for this car so within the next couple of months there will be a K04 turbo car to compare  :happy2:

On a previous GT2871 kit APR managed to get 513 WHP on race fuel.

This was with a built engine with Head work - done by APR in Alabama
