165 bhp at the fly... at 6500 rpm... then it ran out of fuel pump and basically emptied the float bowls :shock:

Always nice to get new shinies in the post, too. Hurrah for Webcon and their next-day service! :D

Sweet, nigh on exact figures that NEV made on believe it or not nigh on identical setup so you'll be happy as larry with that. Quite surprising how much fun a 12A is with that power - Nev still makes me grin like a constipated chimp every time I drive it.

Would you be talked into parting with the tea strainers?

Cheers for the info on the rad - one is on its way.

Looking terribly pant stirring at the moment dude, good job I'm stood in a swimming pool. (An otherwise empty one for those getting concerned for public safety. )

Keep it up.

When is dyno run proper?
