ShireRoller will become famous soon enough
In the upper realms of the rev range, cant help but think the butterfly valve next to the map is interupting its pressure reading somehow. I'll try an get the readings graphed tomorrow. Plug tips after say 500 miles are quite hardwhite.
I just like the idea of making things I guess, see what works an what doesnt.
On the track my engine will spend most of its time in the higher rpms. Even thought of getting another twin throttle body as I have a spare, an try some kind of frankenstine itb setup. Just an ECU that limits me

not in a million years would that fit under the zs bonnet, the cross over does I believe and has been fitted only a short time ago, but you really shouldn't rely on anyone supplying a trumpet length and width off the shelf without doing extensive research yourself, most big name companies go by some old cr@p written many decades ago that seems to be taken as gospel when in fact its a million miles from perfect.
