The head on my car was the prototype for RMW. The production heads have a couple things mine dosn't. While the head was coming off for the new RMW cam Jan took the head to update it.

So the car should be put back together by Friday I hope. While at MiniCorsa Danny is putting in a new oil pump, some IE Fixed camber plates, RMW cam and a couple other little fixes.

I am anxiously waiting as well. As soon as gets back Jan's going to tune it then I'm going to drive the hell out of it.

I will post numbers this time because as far I can see we are done after this. I have some great dyno charts now I just haven't shown them. I wanted to wait until everything we wanted to do was done.
