Just want to know what I have here.

12a minus air pump minus thermal reactor plus headers plus custom exhaust plus street port. It all adds up to something, right?

So I thought I'd get a baseline and see what can be improved on from there .... sya

Always handy to know should you ever decide to change your setup........like maybe trying another Carb or something like that...you can then tell the improvement ;) ;)

And so it came to pass that the Little Red RX brapped up to Surrey Rolling Road on Saturday morning

Same as a factory 12a turbo :o sya th: Might be time to upgrade a few bits and pieces. I'm sure there's a bit more to come yet. Feel free to comment / discuss.
