You're running a Shark Injector with 550cc fuel injectors

I have always heard bad things with them on MINI's, but I have never had a problem with it that I know of since the previous owner installed it in 2006.

When I get around to installing my schrick cam, what tune do you suggest I get? I have been looking at the RMW Jan Tune.

I would say you have the mod bug.

" JCW cylinder head " just the head or did you get more of the tuning kit ?

Looking good. More pics with "seasonal" additives and a view of the DIY front splitter. Excellent list of serious Mods, too.
