The limited range of tuning parts and good machine shops interested in working the smaller one offs at a reasonable cost means few real home tuners. Pity when you consider that although the majority of Formula 1 teams are UK based the majority of the tuning is big bore exhausts K&N filters and perhaps a chip.
I doubt there are more than 50 3.2 MB motors in the UK that have been really tuned past a new exhaust, and chip.
Nothing wrong with "tuning" by reading up on "what to fit" and paying for the work - people should just remember that someone other than the big guys also needs to develop and innovate and as they read about the "best and latest developments" bear in mind that some of the "advise" from the big players is more sales pitch than substance.
Look forward to hearing where you go with your plans, hope you stick with the forum.

Thanks Malc, one thing I can't stand is "know it all's" who have never even busted a knuckle doing it themselves telling me what I can and can't do. When you meet or exceed my accomplishments, then you can talk. I am not typically arrogant, but man... Sometimes you just have to be.
As things progress, I will let you guys know what happens. My time on the spray is out now, I normally avoid it when asked, but it came out while arguing with this numbskull so there it is.
I planned from the start to boost it this winter and was (still am actually) torn between turbo or supercharger. If I could get a factory setup for ease of installation and play with pulley sizes for fun, maybe I would do that prior to winter just to see how it runs, but I know I would want more than what it would be capable of- it would just be a fun project. A
centrifugal blower or turbo would be the only way to get the power I want. I know I can go low 12's on the stock short block- I know people who do, since this is just a play today, that would suffice. I have my Twin Turbo Mustang project for when I want insane power, I just want "insanely fun" out of the crossfire.
