      @@fastx_autosport I think when researching GR components ZTR had done a lot more work on the associated valve train issues and where running at a higher RPM than mostly anybody else with a GR. There are also the South Africans that seem to also be taking there Dakar trucks to some high RPM even at large stroke lengths reliably , they have obviously fixed all the the associated issues to make there engines hang together for massive distances. Yes it is insane how much more money people spend racing in any form with band aid solutions for transmissions never intended for expected use of racing.

      Better for packaging yes by a mile, but since it's a road race car it needs to have the best throttle response possible so we went with two smaller turbos. It's also cooler ;)

    This is how truly great businessmen start their business. It's almost accidental. They're just so good at what they do it's hard for people not to come to them for it. I knew an old guy that "retired" to new south wales from western Australia and he had such a good reputation that he ended up opening a shop in nsw because so many people wanted him to work on their cars. Fantastic bloke. Best mechanic I've ever known. You could tell him the model and year of car you had and he'd tell you what was wrong with it even if you didn't know there was anything wrong. He literally told me that my holden astra was having computer problems because of the coils I had replaced and he'd never even seen the car. He was a wizard in my eyes.
