1) It has been dynoed and for those of little faith I will scan it in as proof (last week it made 243 BHP but due to ambient temperatures and what not it's slightly lower this week)

2) That would be on Shell Optimax yes

3) It uses an unknow brand of minerol oil wich will be replaced by olive-oil on the next run to see if this further improves power and torque

4) No det yet but we're working on that

5) Unfortunatly there was no-one in the potteryshed to map it but I was lucky enough to find the poolman willing to adjust the mixture screw on the carbs
