Hi there,
I am the guy that does all our (RPIEngineerings) videos.

Glad my/our videos are of interest to you guys.

We had to put a very very restrictive exhaust on it at Goodwood so if you think it sounds nice on that video with the 5.5, you will really like the sound it makes with the free flowing side exit pipes it runs usually

Believe it or not it was in 4th gear on the dyno so you can see how quickly it spins up in 4th

Besides the engine what chassis suspension mods has the morgan and kind of brakes is it running?

The car has Koni Suspension all round, drilled and grooved discs.

Looking into Hi Spec Calipers and discs atm, along with many more upgrades.

Its really a development car for us atm, and abit of fun(scary fun)

Ran 12.5s, with the 4.6, no LSD, and launching in 3rd with road tyres.

Now has the 5.5 and LSD, so who knows what we will be getting later this year
