Who mapped it? any dyno sheet?

Sounds risky, fuel pressure would only have to be a little different for the map to be useless, not that it matters now its in bits, good luck with the new project.

 

true point , but the initial idea was to build it dyno it then strip for bits. but the chassis felt so solid and nice to drive once id tidyd it up i had other ideas. the new engine will have a one off map and new pumps, new injectors on a fresh motor. so itle be a good reliablity test as i intend to get alot of use from this one.
