I really really really hate to have to say this but NOT nova 1.4 SR's

they run 80bhp and are tin cans

so don't bother

you'll probably do escort 1.4 CVH's and nova 1.2's

The power gain won't be to 110bhp I am afraid, it won't be 75bhp now due to engine wear etc. I fear even a 1.2 nova will whip you. Sorry mate :(
