I believe this was filmed in 2010 in Australia. It's quite technical but fascinating all the same - enjoy

Many thanks for the links.

Will help not with my 803, but 1300 Aggro for which I plan to tune somewhat.

Thanks for the links. Have played some of the 'cam' ones and loved the response when asked why a 320° scatter pattern cam didn't work very well in a street engine with a CR of 9.75??!! Try ~14:1, amongst other things, was the answer.
