This success extends across to the shoot out comps at Jeff's Shed with a GTR giving 500kw and SR20 DET with 330kw, not to mention a 1932 Ford Roadster land speed record attempt with 550 bhp at the wheels.

To keep up with the precision machining demands of the modern engine, and to diversify the business, Scott has commenced to upgrade the company to CNC machines.
