Hi zoom, welcome to the forum. I don't have a TR*, I have a Spitfire, which I put dual Weber 40's on. Also, I saw a big improvement when I installed headers and also a hotter cam. Later I want to have the head and intake polished and ported and also add a lightweight flywheel and heavy duty clutch. For suspension, I plan to use Polyurethane bushings and probably Spax shocks (I'd like to go with Koni but can't justify the cost). Do you have any pis of your 8 you can post here?
Cheers,
Basil
