Take for example removing the dust shield on the front breaks simple job and yet it changes the performance of the brakes. Matt did it and then drove the car in a Rally and never once lost breaks.
We do cams ECU injectors and every thing we can think off but never shave the heads so it is time to give it a go. So guys how much are we going for and I only want the engine to last 50,000 K but a fun 50.

Tony,
My SVX is quote happy running on our standard fuel which is 91 octane. The car was introduced when lower ratings where the norm. I think you need not be too conservative. A cross section of late models would be a yardstick which would help.
You have the right idea in seeking opinions and figures as nothing finite will be available. The more dope you are able to put together the better. Trouble is what comes off can't be put back, so good luck.
