Not had it on the road yet, MOT is booked for 9am Wednesday. I live on a very short private road and the few test runs I did it had a lot more torque than my tuned 998 can pull off in 3 easy

Forgot to post I had to cancel the MOT for today as over the weekend my second replacement fuel pump packed in and thanks to the bank holiday I could not get hold of the company untill yesterday but thankfully a full refund is on my way so I've ordered a solid state facet pump instead.

smoother, quicker, very reliable and you can abuse them without breaking them, yet they still feel like a mini to drive, and i still smile when i put it into 5th

Might do a bit of mild porting before it goes in .

Worth every penny to get a A series as reliable and powerful as these would cost a few thousand
