The system will only be running 1.1-1.2 Bar which is within the spec for the Jenveys. Omex are Jenvey main dealers so have developed the system based on the ITB that Jenvey sell. As you say it might be better in a high boost situation to use a single TB (as most production turbo cars use).

Engine is with ATSpeed and the gearbox is with BGH.

This is a graph from Omex for their development engine which was running 11:1 compression ratio so the torque will be slightly higher than mine but the power will be similar.

Engine and supercharger should be with me end of next week, beginning of the week after so it is looking good for the end of Feb, early March.

Reading your post Rob got me thinking so went and had a look at my engine printout. with the same set-up but on my 1600cc engine i have just under 200Lb torque at 5500rpm and 272bhp at 7000rpm.

Jeff i recon you might see a better power curve from your engine or are you running the exact same spec? either way that is well impressive ;)

The crank and mains are stock as it will not be reving much over 7500 anyway. It 'should' make more power than this dev engine as it has the head and cams but less torque with the cams and less compression ratio. Certainly be interesting.

I've just been over to Fury Sportscars to chat to Steve (they are putting a flat floor in and other stuff) and we where looking over the car/chassis when he pointed out there was a cross brace missing from behind the Rad. Someone had chopped it out ! Steve is going to put one back in which should help a bit.
