SID did you see my new toy on my MINI ?

Really. 100 octane needed over 13 psi?

Ya really, I was going to say. There are people running close to 20 with 93/94.

Ok you are right sorry..I should have chosen my words correctly here. 12.5 - 15psi is is somewhat favorable under most condition. You could run higher boost levels on 93/94 octane but there would be a loss in power via ignition timing to name one. And the detonation that will occur could harm the engine. Don't fool yourself on this point !

News Flash!!!

Whalen Shift Machine is going to make me a custom shift **** that I designed/patterned after the delrin ***** often used in race machines like the LM/C5...I'm probably going to have it made out of aluminum to keep the weight down as it will be roughly 100mm tall but it will retain the Whalen quick release mechanism...

Maybe this will turn into a standard item at the Whalen Shift Machine Shop

Thanks Doug...can't wait to install this...

It'll be similar to this but in brushed metal...
