Blackbird vs Blade

Hi All,
I'm considering this to engine options now - please tell me more about. Some kind of pros and cons list.

Thank you
Ted

Blackbird

My Indy is just about finished, just waiting for a date to get it SVA'd.

Blackbird Engine, tuned length stainless steel custom made exhaust (Raven Racing - Sheffield), TTS air filter (needs a dynojet kit and tuning.

Not far off now mate, will let you know how it gets on.

Jim - as we're in Sheffield Area too, could you tell me how much the ST.ST Exhaust set you back? Is the quality good... and any chance of having a shufty at it when it's done... put some pic's in the Archive!!!

Rumour has it MK are taking 3 Indy Blade's to Donnington and putting them on the track for a Passenger Demo... sounds a bit tasty!!!

Whilst the Balde engine has a reputation for being virtually indestructable, the Blackbird engine seems to be gaining a bit of a reputation for catastrophic engine failures.
And the Blade is cheaper, easier to source, and doesnt need dry sumping to drive like a loony.....





Dont just build it.....make it!
