This is the guy I used for rolling road tuning. Does alot of drag and circuit cars so is familiar with supercharging. I dont think you do fbook but he puts regular updates on what he has been doing that week.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Thanks Bash - I'll give him a call nearer the time. Always good to get a recommendation.

And here it is snugged in the engine bay:
Not much clearance! Hope the engine doesn't move too much

Re: Elite restoration begins!
The cam covers are just temporary while the rest of the cam housing either passes or fails! If they work OK I'll get some slightly more decorative items cast - I had wondered what to cast into them

Definitely LOTUS-BOOLE. You've earned it.
And I'd go further to say it would add value. The build is fairly well-documented on here, and lotusexcel.net as a peer-reviewed forum supports its provenance, and its approval must add weight and gravitas for all things Lotus GT?
Anyhow, just do it!
