Not sure how they will give high torque or make it sound fabulous.

Perhaps for a very highly tuned motor.

Is he not connected to Al Melling - who is also out in Portugal. He's pretty much despised over on PH.

I just can't think of a rover engine spec that would be better off with a slide throttle than a butterfly set up

it would look good on a replica '70s F5000 engine build but it would be a dog to drive.
Best regards
Mike

MCD Al's compagny called Melling consulting compagny has now been reborn since 2011 as MCD Partnership with Phil Egginton and Beverley Ellison. Phil and Beverly are based in Portugal where is established their R&D center.

I think some people who paid for raffle tickets for that car he built are still waiting for their prizes...
