Had a visit at work today from Rich (Hot460) with his 557cu in (just over 9 litre) money pit. It will be getting its first run at WSID in a week or two.
I will try and post some pics on Rich's behalf and he can answer the questions. I wish my camera captured sound as the thing sounds bl00dy awesome.
