You only test one port at a time and an old chevy V8 won't flow much at all per port... after all some of the older V8's only make about 25bhp per port/cylinder! Even the latest 4v/cyl supercharged LS engines only make just over 100bhp/litre at 6.2l (80bhp per cyl) which is within the flow rates of the smallest SF benches assuming they're charged at more than about 3-4psi. I came close to maxing out the SF flow bench I used to use at about 65bhp/port.

Also it depends what pressure drop you test at, industry standard is normally 10 inches H20, but the bigger tuners that can afford benches that take up a room (thinking specifically Cosworth here) have capability to flow 1000bhp at 28 inches and test entire intake systems.

These turned up today from Vietje and Jeffrey thanks Guys and hopefully see you again http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/...psa6195bba.jpg

After a brief meet up with Jeffrey(I think Niek was in charge of getting Jeffrey to the ferry on time lol) he bought me a few little goodies, the most important first ;)

Thanks again Jeffeey, you are a legend:thumb:

How do you ask these guys for bits people? I need a bumper like that how much did it seT you back mate

I had to source the bumper in europe and Jeffrey kindly collected it for me from the supplier. You just have to ask as many people as you can and email suppliers.
Search hard enough and you can find most things.

Had this arrive sat, need to replace the original as I snapped the needle a while back.
Looking to get a new screen now.

Stumbled on a bit of a bargain as it looks like the dealer must have ordered it incorrectly years ago.
A clear rear screen with no heating elements which is NLS even at OCP. Thought I would eventually fit it to the Swing along with the opening rear quarter windows and get it to hot country spec.

Got the glass for £19.20 and delivered to one of our dealers local to them and then it was transferred to me on our internal dealer transfer van for free :) saved me a trip to N.Yorks.
