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 ....

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
And although the outright horsepower record could consider itself reasonably safe

. TWiR got strapped down and ready for action

Well, one is quite pleased with this .....
Same as a factory 12a turbo

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.

Good number Dave. That's a bit more than I would have guessed, I was expecting it to come in around 140-150ish
Any intake mods yet?
