Mr Oddkid I understand your point of view, and for a time I was of that same opinion (optimise the standard kit with a proper set up) but over the years I have also relised that it will only take so far.
I work for a company that always strives to be the best, so some of that work ethos gets transfered to my car.
I am a race and test mechanic for the McLaren F1 team.
Your coment of 250bhp is somewhat shy of my predictions.
