Can you make tools from plaster?

Fascinating stuff Tony, the graph result is impressive.
A lot of tuners will keep their work to themselves to keep an edge, I like the way you share it with us.

Alan,

Glad you like it. The results that I have achieved with my Aermacchi engines are much better, I'll dig out those results, but it took a lot of work to get that far. I have put much less effort into the SRX.
I have no reason to have secrets. Almost by definition if someone has to copy your work they are lagging behind. Throughout my life I have always found the knowledgeable willing to share, those with secrets are usually hiding their own lack of knowledge.
A funny story on that theme from the past. When I was about 16 or 17 I decided to build a frame for a racing bike, without prior experience I sought out the only bloke I could find in the city who had done this. His reaction was something like "Go away kid, it's a matter of knowhow, you either have it or you don't. If you have to ask then you don't". I guess he was wrong.
