Chris at Prestige knows my car from when it was the owners car at d tech in Tauranga when he worked there. Will post once I raced again on the 20th. Dyno numbers mean little to me much more interested in what the mods will mean on the drag strip. Will post up dyno numbers and what it runs on the quarter mile.

Nice, 12s forsure.

I wanted to get to that meet as well but unfortunately can't. 

Try not to break anything 😄

it's a purely mechanical job as long as the mechanic has the valve spring compression tool to get it done in the careful manner it must be done, so as long as you trust their general mechanical work (spannering) and the labour rate, choose whichever workshop you want.

I've personally found it's better to get a reasonably cheaper labour rate mechanic to do the work of valve spring installations; if they're familiar with falcons at all they'll have the know-how to get valve springs done as it's not the taboo job it once was... then you get your tuner to do the tuning only as they usually have higher labour rates so they get to focus on the "bigger/better" jobs.
