piece de la resistance.........no fuel line upgrade but custom made bigger injectors laugh.gif laugh.gif

Hopefully Mr E wink.gif

We'll try that first.

In the past we have had to uprate the fuel lines, pump and regulator etc but this may not be necessary now that we have larger injectors and the FCON.
