All built in his workshop behind his house and just to clarify that I have seen the chassis being built and the billet crank being machined.
He also machined/made the bore liners and installed them.

He also has a turbo balance machine and injector flow test equipment as well.

Just back from having him change the coil harness ends for my coil upgrade and he told me that it has done a 7.49 second pass with 35 lbs boost and that he has to revert to mechanical injection in the class he wants to enter as he has low 6 second 1/4 mile times in mind with up to 60 lbs of boost to come in future events.

60lbs of boost? That's mental. He could run his HVLP spray gun off that no problem when he's touching up the track battle scars then.

Always remember a fellow teaching me about pressure. He was testing hydraulic lines and asked me what pressure meant to me. I din't understand what he meant so be got out a huge pressure gauge that only went up to 5 psi with a rubber hose attached and asked me how far I could blow it up. I guessed 5 psi no problem so he let me try it. One and three quarter psi and I felt as if my cheeks were going to burst. It gave me a whole new perspective on pressure.

The racing Sierra Cosworths had up to 38 lbs of boost

Lee recons that the motor was handling the boost level easily and it was built for a much higher pressure.
