hi Rob,

I see you started your own company, congrats. Wanted to say how happy I am with the 5.2 you build for me. Funny thing is that when Austec put it on the dyno when it was new, peak power came at around 5000 rpm; now, some 4000 miles later, the extra boost between 5000 and 6000 rpm is amazing!
It is running a bit rough below 2000 rpm; any suggestions?

hey Rob, sounds like a plan for over those quiet (and cold) winter months

nope, mines not bin anywhere for comparisons. mine was stated 404bhp on a "high" R/R, effectively 380ish we reckon which would agree with JE bench figures. i just needed figures for insurance purposes. since then we've bin ironing out teething agro and doing trackwork, monster...spa...ring...magny-cours...dijon...spa again


i guess austec would be the place to go as thats where most figures by MA are done. at gatwick, off the M25/M23.

maybe a "New Year Shoot out?"
mines being fettled again as i dropped a valve seat and had some agro with the clutch last out at spa.
BTW pulled a 3min lap with a 16st passenger AND i wasn't pulling full whack was gonna go for proper time when the clutch gave out
i believe the TVR record is 2:27 in Tuscan with full slix...jamie campbell waters (not sure) but was very happy with feel and power...pulled 155mph into Les coombe

still, should be sorted soon and i'll get something organised. Email me off profile. you lost my Email or something?

cheers
andy
