I should add that what I would find VERY interesting is a column similar to the one Dave Walker has i.e. A monthly report on interesting things you have worked on, fixed, strange problems and there solutions, new developments (before they are released) etc

So if XYZ Motorsport sell you a pair of BD16's but dont say what they are, then those are "secret cams"
The reason behind which of course is:
a) to charge you over the odds for something you could have got elsewhere
b) to make it sound like you are getting something you couldnt have got elsewhere
c) so people can grow their internet cock by an inch when they post their spec up

what about drivability Vs big power, so outlining what kinda turbo's you could use to have decent power, but could be used reliably and possibly daily, and what kinda compromises you are looking at for big power?

Can do a hall of shame as well with the worst bodges seen and cars that Stu has condemned ( Sure I will be in there somewhere )Also, One for the Fast Ford boys, why don't you make a perfect bound collection of all Stu's tech articles? and you could include your own bits and bobs as well
I recon that would sell like hot cakes for Xmas

a guide on how to spec a specific engine for x amount of power (ie: yb for 300hp, 350, 400, 450, 500 and above, do the same for cvh and zetec)
something on choosing the right size wastegate.
something on choosing the right inlet setuo (pipe/hose sizes, i/c size, TB size, plenum size/volume)
an article about 8 injectors (wrc and rs500 style) vs 4 big ones
anything about port sizes?
anything about upgrading cooling systems?
just some ideas

I really cannot wait for this one, I look forward to is as it's something that has confused me since I heard about torque.

Should be out on the shelves this week i think pal, please let me have any feedback you think appropriate.

everything you've covered seemt o be biased somewhat to the turbocharged applications (i know it's not because some stuff is the same regardless) but what about N/A tuning?
what works and what doesn't
the old "honda make and engine that produces 160 brake and you can't make it produce anymore with bolt on bits" would be a good point as well
as said, i know you've covered loads of stuff before but one about wiring in aftermarket manegement would be instresting as well (not a particular one but what to look out for when buying, what works on which cars, ease of instalation, etc)

i think they did a test on it in max power or something
what you gained at one part of the rev range, you lost at the other
and, in some cases, you lost power with bolt on mods like a filter or exhaust, so a really well designed engine with not much more you could ask for really
