Nice fit, not being picky but I'd be running some shrouding so that the fan can pull all the air through ? Nice job on the conversion though will pull like a school boy when it's finished !

Yes a shroud is definitely on the list of things to do. But I've run out of time to make one in front of the many other things that still need doing. :( A couple of months will see a shroud, probably home made in fiberglass...

and should be even better once the tune is changed!

this is the results of that burnout data log, percentage of fuelling change required!

Wouldn't there be a lot of transient fuel changes going on during the burnout so not ideal data for tuning?

i'm not so worried about the richness on the top revs, its the 30% more fuel needed at 800rpm thats weird, its just such a massive jump to the change at 1200rpm!

can someone get me a measurement from the crank center to the SC shaft center?

Just need a reference measurement for a potential alternative to the eaton to check bonnet clearance.

Also if possible, the intake manifold height from the valley to the SC mounting face.
