That vid was still in the early development stages. Way before the throttles. Think I was making 117kw then.

I used to do this as a sideline when I had a day job but had to quit because of time constraints. Self employed now so not sure if I want to get back into it yet. For now just doing the odd car here and there.

Did the CC'ing yesterday. 12,6:1. Worked out to less than I expected. Will have to do for now. Can always shave a few 10ths of the head a bit later.
