No messing around there mate that’s about 350 ponies st the flywheel innit? Good timing on getting the pics worked out. You must be grinning. May as well bring it over to Stanthorpe, or next year maybe.

No mate, it has an inlet temp warning light on the dash and it hasnt come on yet - going to try a smaller pulley on the pump -of course

- and see what happens then. Took me mate old Mick out for a squirt in it today and frightened shit out of him

it has traction issues in first and second gear

Well keep an eye on your spark plugs then and go steady on the pedal until you know for sure everything's alright. There's such a thing as inaudible detonation. Your plugs will be the first indication if you check them for too lean a mixture and too much advance or detonation. I'd hate to see it destroy itself after all that work.

I will pull a couple of plugs tomorrow and check mate, I have been beating on it like it owes me money
