Re: Sprint / hill climb
Did the 'Run what you Brung' at Portreath some years back. My best 1/4 mile was 14.33 at just short of 99mph. Beat all the big v8s, only beaten by the bikes.
When you consider that the roadster above that speed is like flying a brick through the air I thought it was quite good.

Re: Sprint / hill climb
I have a standard MGBGT with twin HS4s and short stacks. The only go faster jobbie is a big bore exhaust that sounds throaty. I may go for a ported and sorted head. but, I think its all or nothing, i.e. lumpy cam, uprated clutch etc. I have had 94mph out of it but chickened out for any more. I do have an overdrive box so it will tootle all day at 70 mph. So its very reliable but would love to beef it up.
