My intentions were never to compete with any of the MINI tuners. All of them have far more resources and A LOT more experience then i. This is more of a learning experience and just a kind of test to see what an average income mini owner can do with a factory head. Jan is an absolute genius when it comes to tuning, almost every car he touches turns into a nuclear pop can (I mean that in the best way possible )

As far as the status of the build, John has it, and we are working on getting the head on a flowbench. Like i said before im learning here, and i really want a flow sheet from before, during, and after the build to show the percentage gains with this head.

HAPPY MOTORING!
