SVA a few weeks ago, did not include insurance, tax et al....
Its managed to pull 11,500 rpm in top, wind resistance then took over but really quick when on cam.
Required budget was £1000 so bust that early on. other hidden costs were decent tig welder, upgraded compressor so real cost in back back pocket was
really £3,500.
