When people talk about 11s theyre generally talking about transit ones which according to a document buried in esi are the wrong shape at the top of the piston for idi. Mine smoked at mot time even with the thing hardly idling and the cable at half travel. The car barely moved otr and still slightly smoked at no load. Luckily it was a visual test here in ni and I got to rev it!!! I will post pics of the tranny and a proper idi 11mm piston sometime but im not even looking through my stash of parts until I get a new 306! A modded 9mm is the way forward imho and I'm real fookin sorry I didnt dyno the car with the 9mm modded, standard 9 but screwed to the last it made 156hp, smokey 11 made 173 but the modded nine felt a bit quicker and faaaaaaaaaar 'free-er' revving than the 11, good pull to nearly 6k rpm and to top it off virtually smoke free.
