I bloody loved it, working on a 3500 Hp HEMI, not every body can say that!. Hope this sat works out, got torque setting in my head, just hope me and Jim can cut it when it comes to race day, he's called grumpy for a reason we will find out.Hope to get some pic's or vid on sat when we pull it a part again, then hopefully hear it running, any body near Purbright sat morning keep your ears peeled.
Used to be good for Moto X there many moons back, maybe they still do it over there ?GTXJim wrote:Pirbright
