IMHO, the "340" oem valve cover looks quite good, clears Volvo adjustable rockers, and is rare enough to be insider-cool. 2 cents, roverman.

Art, can you explain more about Volvo rockers on aa Rover/Buick? An inquiring mind wants to know!

Phil and clan, easiest to use "search" feature, should be under Volvo rockers for RV8's,(should also work on BUV6's). Cheers, roverman.

Hey All:

Curtis very kindly allowed me to take his GT ON THE TRACK @ MAM during the recent Omaha meet. (Well, as long as he could ride along... :-) )

First off, VERY strong and smooth! WE were going all the way to 6500 (well, according to his tach at least). Power seemed endless. We had one moment where we coughed out a big cloud of black (was actually worried it was oil!) and Carl Floyd was trailing us and can make his own report. Otherwise, I thought the engine was superb.

The Tires-- new Direzza Dunlops-- were pretty good as well. The handling started going away (lots of understeer) near the end of the session, but Curtis confessed afterwards that he'd left his panhard off! (So, that explains a good bit of the "push"....)

The brakes were good until I overcooked them into turn one... then they took a few laps to come back.

We managed a 2:02 in the car, which was like 4th fastest. (And the top two were Corvette powered TR6a!)

I think he's built a VERY nice track day car and I'd love to see what it could do with the Panhard connected! :-)
