@Neale- I have no intention of swapping my pinto for a kent, mine's already been worked a fair bit so i'm happy with the power at the moment. Chasing 130hp though (:

Chasing 130hp @ the flywheel? Should already be there with that recipe provided the head work has been done correctly and it has been tuned properly. The std 32/36DGAV will get you in that ball park, after that you want the 38DGAS off a Capri or a even a 34ADM from a XE-XF Falcon can get you there.
If chasing 130hp @ the treads you will need to go to duel 45s to even have a chance
