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.

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 :roll:

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 :D

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! 😏
