Very lovely Peter, but any chance for a more detailed How-To will be done with a step by step picture instruction?

Some of us are not very mechanical... hence needs some spoon feeding!

I am seriously thinking about a video how-to, as the install is fairly complex
and somewhat time consuming With that said the V.3 tube makes the install time shorter by a margin (it's a guarantee) just ask Chris and Sid...

10+ is proprietary...so no spilling the beans.
And I had a meeting with Cosworth this morning regarding the cam among other things....the cam is on and we will see them very soon.

v.3 tubes

[quote=M7]Thank you Chris......

This is the week when we release the V.3 version of the AGS, and with this version we have finally nailed it, better flow, faster response and more power. The V.3 AGS tube is now light years ahead of the original rotary molded part, now CNC machined and TIG welded for perfect fit and finish.
The first V.3 unit was installed on Don Coopers M7/Cosworth car and honestly the most amazing thing with the car is the throttle response which
I partly blame on the V.3 and the propritary 10+ Technology that we developed on the Cosworth head.

Otherwise thats an awesome video and thats a great sound.

We did the video with more thought to the audio aspects in mind . He was just playing with the throttle showing how quickly it responds and the scream of the SC. Call it artistic license

A detailed video How-to will definately be easier for us to do the installation ourselves, as the complexity of the install is a prohibiting factor for buying it in the first place.

I'm still waiting for that cam, in the mean time, I'll have the V.3 for waiting, plus our Canadian dollar is reaching the US currency, at this rate I'll have the best for the least, I guess I can still wait a little longer.
In the mean time when I want to feel some raw power, I take the ZR1 for a spin, but I prefer driving the MINI, it looks like it might be next summer before I can have the MINI the way I want it but it will be worth it.

The vast majority of the sound is from the AGS. We have done a few completely stock cars and they have almost the same sound .Off the top of my head these are some of the items that will affect the sound to some degree.

Blue Cosi car

AGS v3 Pro
M7 Port and Polish supercharger
M7 16 % SC pulley
M7 2% Lightweight Crankshaft pulley
M7 / Cosworth Port and Polish Head
M7 Exhaust
M7 Ultimate grills ( more open )

My Car

AGS v1 Pro
Jackson Racing Header with stock cat added
M7 16% SC pulley
M7 2% Lightweight Crankshaft pulley
Borla Sport exhaust with resonator removed
M7 Ultimate grills ( more open )

So I watched the video... holy &$%#@*!!!!!!!!! That sounds fantastic!!! Oh and kudos to the director or whoever decided to put the camera on the spoiler at the end, that was really cool.

*I needs me some more M7 products*

The "how" was with Richard's vacu Cam system and the "where" is on some of our local mountain roads.
