From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

Subject says it all...

Flywheel has some remains of clutch on it... not perfectly smooth....

If you are getting a new clutch fitted, I would spend the few quid to get a nice smooth surface skimmed. It's a small price compared to the effort if the clutch judders or wears out faster.

whilst your having it flashed why not get the weight reduced by a few pounds, then a must is to get it balanced. should see an improvement in pick up.

Would it not need rebalancing anyway??? I am assuming I should mark this before it take it of.. or does it use cams to measure tdc??

Anybody know anywhere in leeds of the top of your head?? How much should I expect to pay?? And what actually needs doing??

Ie My Dad has a lathe in the garage...And could **possibly** spin it on it... if it wont fit on ours then his mate works at a railway... and they can spin train wheels on theres... Assuming we mount it flat is it a case of making it a perfectly flat surface... or would it need balancing...

Sorry to be thick.... But like I say work with computers... (Im no engineer or mechanic...... however thats dad's degree but he is on hol... so no advice at moment from him!)
