Mick's Performance at Le Coiffeur Team

To finish the installation and do the first setting on the new KAM injection system on the Le Coiffeur's Griffon engine, Ryan and Keith Micke visited the German Le Coiffeur Team during the last week.
Ryan Micke is a specialist in tuning Electronic Fuel injections for supercharged engines for Drag Racing and Tractor Pulling and has also been working for the Green Monster Tractor Pulling Team. Daily buisiness is tuning Drag cars, mainly the Camaro of his brother Mark Micke, who runs the fastest Drag Car with a centrifugal supercharger (see article here) .
The final tune up of the Griffon engine could unfortunatly not be done, as during the test runs a problem with the drive of the Griffon's supercharger prevented the engine to get any boost pressure. The supercharger drive will be fixed in time for the Tractor Pull at Weseke next weekend and there some more test runs will have to be made.

During their stay there of course was a little time for sightseeing (Marienfeld Ministry and Bad Iburg Castle) and an evening at the Rampendahl Brewhouse in Osnabrück.
Ryan and his brother Mark will be at BAE engines next weekend, dynoing their new Hemi engine for 2009 season, which, equipped with a Pro Charger and a KAM injection system is supposed to make remarkeble more power than the 2700 hp 540 cui Chevy used in the last season.
Despite that draw back the Le Coiffeur team hopes to get the engine dialed in soon, to compete in the 2009 Euro Cup season.
