Looks like it got hot at the end. Hence the AF. Lean that out and you will be over 200whp.

Off topic, but at what point are larger injectors necessary?

Not before pulley, intake, exhaust for sure. I added them after the Cosworth head and Schrick cam.

WOW 
... nice going, Steve. I hope that by the end of next summer I would have something to top yours 
(just keep those parts ready
)
I'll wait for the M62 and see how it runs to get a whole new package better than the JCW

Speaking of the M62... we've been delayed yet once again. Something about Thanksgiving and all that mumbo jumbo. Disappointing to be sure but there's no whining for the betas. Maybe next week I'll have hope again. Until then...

No! No jinxing allowed! Be quiet! Ignore this thread! I do not have Icarus and am not saying anything until he's actually in my garage. Shhhhh! Go about your regular posting on other threads. Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

So do you have an educated guess about the timetable for the event of which we must not speak? :impatient
Is this system on a cosworth car yet??? How is the MTH tune coming that I read about in earlier posts??? Again, is a tune going to be included with this kit or is it going to be extra??? I'm not trying to bust bals here, I wouldn't ask If I weren't interested makes me wonder though when I don't hear anything

Tis the curse of product developement.
Coming up with the idea is a 1 dificuty.
Demonstrating that the idea can be done is a 10.
Reduction to a reliable production item is a 100.
While this seems ***-backwards, I've seen it replicated literally hundreds of times. Sad thing is, the exitement is maximum at the beginning, but waiting for all the details to be nailed down is boring to watch and wait for, and takes the longest time.
Hold tight!

What? No date tonight? Huh.
Lemme tell you, this guy is a beast! It feels like a straight six. Power is instant. Response is instant. Adrenaline is instant. Excuse me for a minute, I have to go change my shorts.

I'm having a head done and whether or not to include the M62 flow into it's design is getting close to a decision point.
Go guinea pigs go!
