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.

 

Welcome to NAM, Steven. Very unique looking MINI! Keep up the good work and if you need anything be sure to let me know.

 

Definitely go with Jan @ RMW for your 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.
