Lambo wings, now at Carbon Wezzels 
They start work on them at the weekend
It feels really nice to know that I provided a small amount of inspiration for something that's going on your car. I hope they look really good.They start work on them at the weekend
Thanks for posting that pic
Never would have looked at make this part if you had not

Hows it with the new fuel system or have you not altered anything else other than that at the moment?
Plan was to add a twin fuel system and change nothing else uptil Cam in August, but Roger found a single unit that would be cheaper IF it worked.Sadly it was not as good as the spec sheet, and did not work, so we ran out of time to fit the twin system, so she will have this done in August, when she gets the Cam and smaller s/c pully

Roger had mentioned a simpler fuel system, was hoping that would work but maybes not going to be any good!Sadly it was not as good as the spec sheet, and did not work, so we ran out of time to fit the twin system, so she will have this done in August, when she gets the Cam and smaller s/c pully

would not pump the required about of fuel, so back to the twin pump idea 007 VXR said:
Nope, no good would not pump the required about of fuel, so back to the twin pump idea
Think thats ruled the twin pump set up out for me, cant really justify the cost, would need that and also a pulley upgrade on current charger to make it worth while, then I really would be pushing the pistons to the limit with the 122. As much as would love to get it forged, for the price of the car and what its cost me in mechanical failures so far I just cant justify it. would not pump the required about of fuel, so back to the twin pump idea After_Shock said:

One reason i changed to the TVS2300
With the cam in it should be safe enough which Roger agrees on, however the cost of the fuelling plus the 12psi pulley set up for the small amount extra in bhp it would give and the extra risk of blowing it I think is out the window.One reason i changed to the TVS2300
I definately want to do and will do the cam with it on the 9psi set up though, made such a difference on my last car and ultimately drops the boost and temps a good chunk too, looking more long term useability than anything else.

mine made 498rw on 9psi with the 122, but
mine always made more power for some reason
most think 460 rw from a 122 on 9psi is about right,
so with cam should see 500 rw with out fuel upgrade??
Cant wait to drive mine with tvs2300 on 9psi with cam
with fuel sorted, should be over 550rw
to Carbon Wezzels in the morning, hope some carbon bits will be ready for Thumder Road 007 VXR said:

TVS will be awesome when you have it done
Mines probably going to be more long term now, other stuff needs doing first.
