mine will pull a trailer with 60 kilo and a weeks worthing of clothing for me and wifey combined weight bout 30 stone at 65mph(gps) all day at half throttle but thats it .

Mark, I think AF now do a 'Classic' version as they did with the Rapido 225's which has more consevative port timing.

Then you should have bought the classic and not the race.
I'm building one at the moment and plan on using a TM24 and the new 48mm clubman, with tall(ish) gearing.
