Andrew has swapped his 90mm trumpets for some 120mm ones to gain as much torque as he can, got to make some new brackets for the second bank of injectors now he said

Looks a tidy motor and well thought out, coil on plug looks good
I'd look into some type of airbox or cold air feed as the hot air will give problems when on the road, inlet temps will be 50 deg plus which will zap power IMO
Also worth doing some testing with the trumpet length,we found the longer runner length lost power top end at high rpm
Reducing trumpet length made over 20bhp difference, (increase)
That engine made 280 bhp on a nasp st170 with similar scpec to yours
Looks good, pleased to see someone thinking outside the box for a change

It has a cold air feed, see the big pipe next to the battery?

The trumpets we tried were quite long, ex cosworth development apparently over 250mm in length
Try both sizes you have and see if there is a difference and let me know
What diameter bodies you using?
I'm building nasp ST225 5 cyl engine at the moment on jenvy bodies, using 48mm butterflies and 10 inch inlet lengths as the thing is designed to rev to 9500rpm, will try different lengths on the dymo to see what works best.

He said the bodies are 48mm witch are 118mm long and then the 120mm long trumpets.
He said its quite hard to make a enclose box because of the second bank of injectors

I'm sure he will
On a sad note Andrew said that the car will be broken some time next year, He can not justify spending any more money on it now.
It will still be finished and featured in some magazines but broken after
Dyno print outs will be posted and 1/4mile time too if done
