LMP engineering breaks in new Can Am MKIII
Just wanted to share some information on our new Can Am M1 MKIII. It has a new CT525 engine with Hewland box and our own inlet system with 48 TA throttle bodies and ECU. We shaken it down on a test track and after 2 days of suspension optimisation it runs very fast.

If there is interest we will sell the inlet system which is dyno tested to the open market

Some more pics from the shakedown. The CT525 showed bout 550 Hp with our inlet setup on the dyno. I intend to also post some video footage about the track tests.

Re: LMP engineering breaks in new Can Am MKIII
For those who like viewing the track run I have added video on youtube

Can Am M1 - Test run with Race driver Jeff Bucknum - YouTube

We have chosen a short part of the track as we were focusing on corner performance and spring rates

That's what I'm talking about... Sign me up for one of those intakes Wolfgang. If my research is right it is the only intake for LS series engines that allows Webers. Right on!
