Hi Laust, Very nice!You seem to have a good handle on both the mechanical and electronic side of things.Are you a mechanical engineer?Or electrical?(or both?) I ask because I don"t often see a crossover.The mechanical engineers I know are not very strong on the electrical side, and vice- versa.However, with computers controlling more and more mechanical functions every day, there"s no question that in the future there will be a lot of crossover. I am curious as to what percentage of your work on the Jalpa will be calculated up front, and what percentage will be "dialed in" once the parts are on and the car is back on the road.Are you actually running some sort of "modelling" program to try and predict the outcome of all these modifications?(I recall you mentioning that you "calculated" your hp would be....) Anyway, it"s impressive to see such a measured approach to all this. So many of the Lambo modifications I hear about seem to be "throw it on and see what happens!"Which is certainly fun, but not necessarily the way to arrive at the best performance balance. Best, Fred PS: I hope I haven"t used up our quota of answers!;^D
