It starts and runs.  Sounds strong.   Now for a dyno tune.

This was a long build for me. Started in 2012.   I had a number of interruptions and distractions, mostly earning a living.   The chassis was designed by Oz.  He built the original frame in 2007.  ( http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,2972.0.html ) I followed his build.  His design and engineering is superb. With his permission I built this one "under license".  He is quite a gentlemen and sent me photos of details and advice on adapting the design to ZX10 platform.   I couldn't have built it without his assistance.  Another example of the Land Speed brotherhood.
