So on Saturday I dropped off the car for its much needed top end with a few extras. I had a similar moment to Frank when I was dropped off at the station and was able to see the car driving away from me. In my case that included a sizeable cloud of smoke.. so can't claim the effect was quite the same!

So will update details as I go, this won't be a totally radical rebuild, pretty standard but probably with some custom cams. Also other little bits will include:

-Lightweight Tinware
-Deleting the rear blower
-Plating the various pulleys and connectors
-Powder coating the fan (not sure on colour yet)
-Chip

great stuff, subscribed

Had not thought of single RS Pulley, will ask Nick at Redtek re weight saving, Vs costs and potential negatives.. same for the cone filter!

Also, since Nick can do totally custom cams I wondered if instead of a cup profile I should ask him to do one which specifically boosted bottom end and mid range torque? I've been told the cup cam boosts power everywhere but really i'm just interested in a fat torque curve. Is it the case that the cup cam provides best power at the bottom end as well so might as well just stick with it or would a custom design provide more bottom end torque?
