Thanks guys for the advice will definitely help to get the 1400 going a bit faster then it normally did. I have 2 40 delortos side draughts will they work nicely with the 276 cam and lighten flywheel with the balanced motor???? Can the standard 4 speed gearbox and diff take the punishment?

Well some say when you put in a performance cam you need to increase your oil pressure to prevent engine failure!!! I am going to run two 40 SD carburettors with the 280 cam will it idle with that cam?? Semi-Racing and daily use when they balance the motor what precisely do they do?? My avatar is actually a other guys creation which I just copied but it is a real bakkie that does exist!!
3.8 motor with turbo auto box and hilux transfer case on hilux diffs, and no chassis but the original Nissan shell that’s just re-enforced

Hi guys can you please advise me on the following?

How much do you lighten the standard flywheel?
How do you increase your oil pressure?
Is it helpfull performance wise to knife edge the crank?
Is a 280 degree cam to wild for daily use ?
Can you still use the standard push rods and cam followers?
