same thing can be said about what you have stated for the 308 motor pigsy the twin cam head its a revised version for an rb series engine. same can be said for the single cam ford 6 cylinder they revised and made a new twin cam head which apparently fits straight on the older style 4 litre motor.

Ok everyone’s entitled to their own opinion on what makes an it an RB30 or not, the fact is it’s a quick RB in a well setup car, I’m guessing that motor in a VL wouldn’t be as quick so it’s hard to compare it to the quick VL on this site Personally I’m not a fan of the car (yes, I’d rather it was a VL) but well done to the RIPS guys on their achievement
