Interesting...
Looking at the cranking amps on the battery its around 450 amps, but i'm not sure what the ampage is at the starter motor required to start it.
Did you measure it at the starter motor side or at the battery side? Wonder what the drop would be.
Thanks, i'll get that ordered soon.
Just to update, cam cover has come off as i need to weld in some studs as the plan of loctiting some cap head bolts in place for the coil packs didnt work that well and i got some oil leaking from it. So while its off i think i might get it polished.
I've also moved the position of the catch tank to make it more accessible and fixed in place better, it now sits in front of the strut turrent. I'll update this thread when i get the cam cover sorted.
p34ch3y where did you get the blue tape from covering your pipework, looks cool. How much was it, do you know if they do it in yellow.

Couple more things, ordered nice shiny stainless t-bolt clamps for the fmic hoses, that brak res cap, got a better sprayed TB to go on and i'm gettin the smooth rocker cover polished along with the charge pipe done properly.

Finally fitted my polished smooth rocker cover last night and i'm well happy with it.
I'll post pics later when i get home.
