I think it is difficult for Max to substantiate his claims of how perfectly drivable his hot 198hp ts conversion is- so I thought I might add my thoughts. I am currently running the same set up as Max on my GT Junior and cannot begin to tell you what a well tempered yet incredibly potent package it is! I live in Central London and can confirm that the car behaves astoundingly well on our congested streets here. I have also had the opportunity to attend three track days since the conversion to t/s where I have regularly spanked it to 7500 rpm. The car, although fully spec’d with every other bit of Alfaholics equipment my bank manager let me buy, has proven to be a serious contender with 911’s, lotus exiges, Caterham 7s etc. Max’s stories of one-upmanship against modern sports cars are absolutely true. Biba- I definitely recommend t/s route. You will never look back, but I take it the ultimate key to success is the mapped ignition which offers the element of perfect drivability and smooth hp/tremendous torque delivery curves.
All the best,
